The McKinney-McDonald House: Distinguished Eastlake Masterpiece

The McKinney-McDonald House is a distinguished Galveston landmark and Victorian masterpiece. Built in 1890, this Eastlake-style Victorian residence in the East End Historic District reflects the craftsmanship and architectural character of its era. Hallmarks of Victorian design including intricate millwork, decorative wood detailing, ornate hardware, steep gables, patterned shingles, and a dramatic spiral staircase are carried throughout, with Eastlake influence expressed through refined ornamentation. A widow’s walk and porches oriented to capture the Gulf breeze further define the home’s era and identity. Preserved and restored with respect for its original form, the home reflects the current owner’s dedication to its history. Previously featured on the Galveston Historic Homes Tour, the property is approximately 4,100 square feet and includes updated HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems, thoughtfully concealed to preserve its historic character. The sale includes 614 10th Street.
