History

The Galveston East End Guest House was first built in 1888. The current owners of the property have owned it for seven years. When the owners bought it, they converted the Victorian-style house into a bed and breakfast where people could stay. Back when it was first built, the house was split up into different sections. It acted as an apartment instead of a single house. People could live in different sections of the house. The current owners of the property bought the house and converted it into a bed and breakfast. They were the first people to use it as a bed and breakfast. Over the years, they have done a lot of work to the house, including repainting it, adding on things for the rooms, and remolding the house itself to be more modern.
