1882 H. M. TRUEHEART & CO. BUILDING<br />
N. J. CLAYTON<br />
212 22ND STREET<br />
This High Victorian building, designed by Nicholas Clayton and constructed in<br />
1882, served as offices for the real estate company owned by Virginia native<br />
and former Confederate officer Henry Martyn Trueheart.<br />
The design displays Clayton’s skill at composition and detail. Within the symmetric<br />
front facade, sunken panels and bands of multicolored brick and tile give the<br />
building a lively appearance. In a review published just after the building’s<br />
construction, the <strong>Galveston</strong> Daily News characterized it as influenced by the<br />
architecture of central Italy.<br />
The Junior League of <strong>Galveston</strong>, which preserved the First National Building<br />
next door, also purchased the Trueheart & Company Building in 1969. Since<br />
completing a rehabilitation in 1971, the Junior League has maintained offices<br />
in the building.<br />
