Cast Iron store front on Galveston's Strand.
This shop is on the first floor of a beautifully restored, historic Cast Iron style building that boasts the first water closet in a commercial building in Texas.
The 3nd floor was set for Kenny Roger's The Gambler.
Once called the "The Wall Street of the Southwest," The Strand was a highly popular location for major businesses throughout the 19th century, attracting banks,
wholesalers, commercial merchants, cotton brokers, newspapers, and attorneys. The buildings, designed by Galveston's leading architects,
are exquisite examples of Victorian architecture and represent one of the country's largest collections of cast iron historic commercial buildings.
