Mrs. Crosby Goes to Galveston - Day 3 The Strand
Posted by Kelli Ladwig on
No trip to Galveston would be complete without a trip to the Strand Historic District. The Strand was originally Avenue B which ran parallel to Galveston Bay. It was a merchant area near the wharf and the merchant there thought calling it "the Strand" gave it a more upscale sound. Now the Strand encompasses many blocks downtown and is a shopping and entertainment district.

Mrs. Crosby Goes to Galveston - Day 1
Posted by Kelli Ladwig on
Very excited to be heading to sunny climes with Mrs. Crosby. As you may know, she is a purveyor of fine fibers and I was thrilled to be able to bring her along to Galveston, Texas and share some of favorite spots in this beautiful and historic Texas city.
Our lodging is at the Sally Trueheart Williams home on Broadway in the East End Historic District. I would highly recommend it. It was built in 1928 and it built in a Spanish Revival style. The renovations to the interior are very comfortable while maintaining the integrity of this home.
