What to Know

Bishop's Palace, also known as the Gresham House, was built for Walter Gresham and his family between 1887 and 1892. Designed by Nicholas Clayton, it is a strong choice for visitors who want to look closely at the craft and scale of Galveston's Victorian architecture. Check the difference between ordinary admission and a special Basement to Attic tour before buying. Historic-building access can differ by tour; contact the foundation about mobility needs. The operator offers an audio-tour alternative with photographs and a written transcript.
