The Strand; known as the Wall Street of the Southwest; contains a significant collection of 19th-century buildings. Long the center of Galvestons business community; its architecture is a reminder of this historic port city. The National Historic Landmark District includes buildings classified as Greek Revival; Italianate; and Victorian style--sometimes with traces of vernacular building traditions that date to the 1850s. Historic images found within this book illustrate the development of the Strand and surrounding streets; including Mechanic; Market; and Postoffice. Galvestons Historic Downtown and Strand District demonstrates the power of place; despite an ever-changing economy and natural disasters.
