Circa 1886, "Postoffice Street was the portion of the district where the houses of prostitution clustered. This sober, two-bay wide, clapboard "house" with a low-pitched roof and boxed eaves is the last survivor. It was built and owned by Miss Mollie Walters, one of the district's most celebrated madams."-Galveston Architecture Guidebook, pg 41. The 2 story main house has 5 parlors, kitchen & bath with shower downstairs. 9 bedrooms upstairs. Back quarters include two horse stalls. The building needs much renovation. The seller is not cleaning out the property. He will remove some items, but the vast majority of the contents, most of which is hardly useable, will remain. Seller retains 30 days after closing & funding to vacate the property. Being sold in its current condition, no repairs. There are deed covenants preventing demolition. In attachments is a City of Galveston program for substantial(50%) rehabilitation & tax breaks.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
