Galveston, TX, United States
John Smith House. Irish immigrant and Galveston police officer John Smith had this home constructed at 3601 Post Office Street in 1890, where it later served to shelter victims of the 1900 storm. It was moved to this site in 1927. The home features an unusual four-bay configuration and a two-tiered
gallery. The large floor-to-ceiling windows provided cooling and ventilation in the hot Gulf Coast summers. The home remained in the Smith family until 1978. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1987 #7
