History
editGalveston lumberman, Henry Beissner built his house at 2818 Ball Avenue in 1891. Its architecture is remarkable for the neighborhood and for Galveston. Compared to the neighboring development, the architecture of the Henry Beissner House is unusual and elevated. Built on a stone arch base, its front gable displays more detail compared to other houses in Galveston. Mardi J. Mitchell added a turret during a major renovation of the house in 1996.[2]
