Samuel May Williams House
Samuel May Williams House, Greek Revival residence in Galveston, United States
The Samuel May Williams House stands on brick piers with a gallery extending along the south and east sides of the white frame structure.
Built in 1839 with materials shipped from Maine, this house represents one of the earliest residential structures still existing in Galveston, Texas.
The residence includes period furnishings from the 1850s, including an original German piano that reflects the early German influence in Texas.
Located at 3601 Avenue P, the house contains six bedrooms across two floors, with French doors opening onto a wide columned porch.
A reconstructed cupola atop the house once housed a telescope that Samuel May Williams used to monitor incoming ships at the port.
