Marker Text: ​Built at a cost of $1,000,000, this hotel was financed by local businessmen and public subscribers to help the economy of Galveston following the 1900 hurricane. Completed in 1911, it was designed by the St. Louis firm of Mauran and Russell. The Spanish Colonial revival styling includes a red tile roof and white stuccoed brick walls. The hotel and city are named in honor of Count Bernardo de Galvez (1746-86), Spanish Governor of Louisiana and Viceroy of Mexico. (1980)
