212 S. MAGNOLIA - BUILT 1882 (LOOK RIGHT)

This original rent house was built by Michael Ash and significantly embellished in 1900 by Judge Waltus H. Gill, a Kentucky native and Associate Justice of the Court of Civil Appeals. A local paper reported that the remodeled "residence is blooming forth like a thing of beauty and a joy forever."' The house features an elaborate double gallery reminiscent of the homes of Galveston, where Gill frequently lived and worked.
