Bassett and Bassett Banking House, Galveston
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: This three-story Italianate building was built to house a bank, law offices and a cotton exchange. The original bank building was built in 1866, and it was rebuilt using local brick. In 1907, renovations were made for the owner’s cotton brokering business, and the building’s classic details were carefully re-crafted. A third floor with a skylight was added to provide the natural light needed to grade cotton. Benjamin H. and Thomas J. Bassett opened this newly-created bank and located their law office in the building soon after its completion. Built with bricks manufactured by the local Wild & Co. Brickyard, the Italianate structure housed the bank until it closed in 1884. An important Brenham landmark, the building features round arches and stucco hood moldings at door and window openings. The third story was added in the early 1900s. |
