Tom Schwenk, Owner/Broker of TGRE – Tom’s Galveston Real Estate:
TGRE is proud to be the presenting sponsor for the Galveston Historical Foundation’s 48th Annual Historic Homes Tour!
“I’ve had a long history of involvement with the tour, first as a visitor in 1985, then as a volunteer in 1989. In the years that followed I’ve been a volunteer, docent, ticket taker, house chair and a sponsor. Whatever your involvement it is always a fantastic event and a great way to celebrate Galveston’s history one home at a time.”

1922 Stubbs-Garrigan Bungalow
3727 Avenue P
Contractor Charles Franks built this wood frame bungalow with inset porch in 1922 for cotton clerk Sidney Stubbs and his wife, Thelma Bagnal.
In 1941, Owen and Cora Garrigan purchased the home, Garrigan worked as a bookkeeper before he established Garrigan’s Sporting Goods at 514 Tremont.
Located in the Lasker Park Neighborhood, the family maintained ownership of the bungalow until 2007.
Real Estate broker and developer August J. Henck built this raised L-plan Queen Anne cottage in 1897.
Prominent features of this cottage include a gabled roof with dove-tail shingles and ornamental cornice brackets and original Victoria glass windows that depict the moon, stars and nautical shells.
Henck’s daughter Sadie inherited the cottage in 1931 and lived there until 1960.
There are 9 historic homes on this tour this year, and a bonus of 2 new construction homes! Note: not all homes are open both weekends. Check below or the official website for more information.
