2100 Strand St
Galveston, TX 77550

The Strand Historic District in Galveston, TX, boasts charming Victorian-era buildings with ornate iron balconies and whimsical painted signs, dating back to the late 1800s. Surviving the 1900 Storm, these magnificent structures reflect the area's rich history as the "Wall Street of the South."

Comprising four distinct areas – The Strand, Pier 21, Postoffice Street, and West Market – this district is a picturesque blend of shopping, dining, and architectural wonders. Each zone offers unique attractions, from historic Victorian architecture in The Strand to fine art galleries and chic boutiques in Postoffice Street.

Visitors can enjoy the hub of year-round events and festivals like Mardi Gras! Galveston and Dickens on the Strand in The Strand area. Pier 21 provides a waterfront entertainment and dining experience with attractions, museums, and boat tours, while West Market offers old-fashioned establishments and eclectic dining options for a truly immersive downtown Galveston experience.
