2015 Strand - The Inn

11,100 square foot retail and residential lofts.

This three story property, the oldest on The Strand, was originally home to Colonel Ebenezer Nichols and his family. The “Galveston Rifles”, a Confederate militia group, housed their arms on the third floor and trained in front, on The Strand. E.B. Nichols was the financial agent for the Committee on Public Safety, an officer of the Galveston Brazos Navigation Company, and a private banker. The first floor of the Nichols Building now has one retail space, and a large, private office, while the second floor is fitted with four separate suites, a large common area, a laundry, and kitchen. The third floor has two very large exquisite lofts separated by a large library, ideal for upscale rentals or as a private residence of the owner. These two lofts each have two baths, and a kitchen. One overlooks The Strand.
