this historic island mansion is undergoing a restoration that will turn it into the community center for the Bayside At Waterman's development.
"George Sealy Jr. commissioned the building in 1926, according to the Galveston Historical Foundation. The Sealy family was among the island’s dynastic clans, powerful in business and politics. In 1944, Maco Stewart, founder of what would become Stewart Title Co., acquired the property. Michael Gaertner, the project’s architect, said the building was less a mansion than a camp house the Stewart family used as a West End retreat from city life. The Stewart Mansion had fallen victim to time, elements and vandalism over the years."
