Grace Manor Bed & Breakfast  Each of the four guest rooms are appointed with king sized beds and richly detailed with antiques. Bathrooms include either a Jacuzzi or claw-footed tub. Our room, the Island Palm, included a spacious room with a day bed, and walk through sliding glass windows, allowing us to walk out on the upper porch veranda to overlook the front garden area and Postoffice Street (also known as Avenue E). The house is appointed with central air and heat. Prior to air conditioning, residents would sleep out on their porches on the south-side, and the sliding windows are found in many of the area houses. Our bathroom included a shower and a huge 7-foot claw-footed tub, with a rack for enjoying your favorite book while relaxing.
We would like to thank the Grace Manor B&B and the Galveston B&B Association for assisting with our feature and accomodating us. Directions:  I-45 becomes Highway 87, then Broadway once in Galveston. From Broadway, you will turn left onto 17th Street and travel 5 blocks, where you will see Grace Manor on the corner of 17th Street and Postoffice Street.

Built in 1905 by George B. Stowe, for John D. Hodson, an insurance executive, the Grace Manor house is a late Victorian Colonial Revival style, with large rooms, king size beds, period antiques, paintings, and ornate furniture. The entrance is draped with huge dark pink boganvilla, the tallest
I've ever seen, in addition to crape myrtles, and majestic palm trees which
shade the front porch.
