Overview
Originally built as an opera house in 1870, the building enjoyed a glamourous but brief reign as Galveston's cultural centerpiece. This important landmark has now been reborn as the National Hotel Artist Lofts, featuring 27 units of affordable live/work space for creatives and their families and ground-floor commercial space. The project has played a key role in the renaissance of the Strand, a National Historic Landmark District with many Victorian-era buildings, which has become a major tourist attraction.
