And we're not kidding!
DID YOU KNOW? 👀
Many of the beautiful buildings along Galveston's Historic Strand are MORE THAN 125 YEARS OLD!
Most of the historic commercial buildings were constructed between 1875 and 1899, featuring architectural styles like Italianate, Gothic, and High Victorian.
Think about that for a minute.
These buildings were standing BEFORE:
