ISBN 0892633468. LCCN 96-9889. By Ellen Beasley and Stephen Fox. Photographs by Ellen Beasley. Galveston contains the largest and most historically significant collection of 19th century buildings of any Texas city. As a result of preservation efforts in recent years, Galveston's architecture and history have risen to national prominence. This is the first comprehensive guide to the architecture of this unusual Gulf Coast City. This book includes the city's imposing business blocks, individual buildings, and houses, both large and small. This guidebook also addresses more recent architectural episodes, such as the growth of the city's highly acclaimed medical center, the development of its neighborhoods, and the evolution of its beach front. Each entry includes a photograph, an identifying number keyed to a tour map, as well as historical, descriptive, and critical commentary. Also included are several appendixes for easy reference: an illustrated building typology, an architectural glossary, and a selected bibliography. Description text copyright 2005 BooksForComfort.
