Description: Built during Galveston’s prominent business era, this house was completed in 1892 in the San Jacinto neighborhood for Ernest and Christiana Wegner. Designed by architect Carl Heufs, the house is a classic L-plan Queen Anne Victorian perched high on a brick basement. Architectural changes were made in 1933 in the arts and crafts style. The current façade shows elements of both styles of architecture used on the house. The house survived the 1900 Great Storm virtually untouched while houses around it were destroyed. It remained in the Wegner family for 81 years.
