Provided By

City of Galveston Development Services

The City of Galveston Development Services Department has a collection of slides of buildings located in the Lost Bayou Historic District. The slides are associated with the historic building survey which resulted in the designation of the area as a historic district. The Lost Bayou Historic District is the only one of our four historic districts that has documentation of the buildings immediately before the designation of the area as a historic district. The Lost Bayou Historic District consists of more modest structures than the other locally designed historic districts. The area served as housing for immigrant and working‐class families.
