A Queen Anne Colonial Revival masterpiece, the William Meininger Home was built in 1896 by architect George B. Stowe and is featured on the cover of Galveston’s Architecture Guidebook and featured in the Historic Homes Tour. Commissioned by a prominent wine merchant, it showcases original stained glass—including a rare Bacchus panel—elliptical transoms, heart of pine floors, and intricate woodwork throughout. A climate-controlled attic with loft and hidden passage crowns the home. Behind its gated entry lies a pool, jacuzzi, and guest house with a two-car garage—ideally located near the Post Office District and The Strand. Stowe, just 23 when he designed this home, became one of Galveston’s most prolific architects. His work was instrumental in the city’s recovery following the 1900 Storm, contributing homes, churches, and public buildings that still stand as architectural landmarks across Galveston and Houston.
