In the foreground - 1883 Adolph and Regina Frenkel House, 2424 Avenue L
This Victorian house is one of three identical triplets built in 1883 by the Galveston Real Estate and Loan Association as investment properties.
Bavarian immigrant Adolph Frenkel purchased his Victorian house in 1884.
A year later he married Regina Marx and the couple added two rooms to the rear of the property and installed electric lights, which had recently become available in Galveston.
