Galveston Island. Texas

The Inscription
“A native of Prussia, Julius H. Ruhl came to Galveston in 1872. He served as cashier and clerk for the mercantile firm of Kauffman & Runge until his death in 1882.
This home, which Ruhl had constructed in 1874-75, remained in his family until 1962. The residence exhibits Italianate detailing and features a fine,
two-story porch with classical colonettes, a bracketed cornice along the roof line, and a central triangular pediment.”
“Recorded Texas Historic Landmark – 1984”

Ruhl was smart with his money to have such a grand place built...your excellent shot offers a good impression of the place..
