Samuel May Williams Designer Show House - Completion

On Friday, May 2nd, the Samuel May Williams House was completed in time for the opening of the 2008 GHF Historic Homes Tour. The Historic Homes Tour is the first two weekends in May, but the ASID Designer Showhouse will be open the first four weekends in May and also on Memorial Day. The transformation of the house has been amazing and feedback has been very positive. If you are in the area during the month of May, please visit the 1839 Samuel May Williams House and see the new energy that these 12 designers gave to the house. You may purchase tickets from http://www.galvestonhistory.org/ or https://tix.extremetix.com/tix/SilverStream/Pages/pgIndex.html?siteID=1587 Tickets may also be purchased at the 1861 Custom House - 502 20th Street, Ashton Villa's Heritage Visitor Center - 2328 Broadway or at the Williams House on the days it is open - 3601 Avenue P.



Once the ASID Designer Showhouse is closed, the installations will be removed and the house will be available for rent to a property curator. We are excited to have someone living there again, since this is the best use for a house. For more information on rental of the 1839 Samuel May Williams House, please contact GHF at 409.765.7834.




Here are a few before and after shots of the renovations:
