Summary edit
DescriptionFranklin-Wandless House.jpg |
English: Built in 1886 to replace a house destroyed in the great Strand fire, this Galveston house was the home of Robert Morris and Sarah Franklin. Robert Franklin (1839-1923) the son of Benjamin C. Franklin, the Battle of San Jacinto veteran for whom Franklin County Texas was named. An attorney and judge, he had taken part in the Civil War Battle of Galveston as a "horse Marine," a Confederate cavalryman aboard a makeshift "cottonclad" battleship. As the officer in charge of a captured Federal ship, Franklin single-handedly captured notorious Confederate deserter and Union spy "Nicaragua" Smith the day after the battle.
John F. Wandless (1879-1961) was born in New Brunswick, Canada. He was a veteran of the Boer War and World War I before coming to Galveston in 1921. The Franklin-Wandless house is an imposing example of the Italianate style. Hallmark features of the style include pedimented doors and windows, corbelled eaves and the double gallery porch with chamfered (beveled) posts and bandsawn brackets. |
