McKinney, located two blocks from the East End Historic District.","why_significant":"The nomination presents it as a fine example of Victorian architecture that survived the 1900 Hurricane and as an excellent, elaborately detailed example of the Eastlake style. It departs subtly from Galveston's symmetrical Victorian houses with an off-set gallery, front bay, corner pavilions and a northeast wing. Its ornamentation is unusually lavish.","narrative":"Built around 1889 for wholesale grocer Liberty S. McKinney, this two-story frame house at 926 Winnie in Galveston is a richly ornamented example of Eastlake-style Victorian design. It rises above a stuccoed brick foundation of segmental arches and features a double gallery with spindles, pendants and wheels, two-story bays with carved friezes, and an elaborate brick chimney with a lyre motif. Inside are a spiral stairway, pressed tin ceilings and an original entrance chandelier. Unlike many symmetrical Galveston houses, it uses an off-set gallery, projecting corner pavilions and a northeast wing. The McKinney family and friends sheltered here during the 1900 Hurricane. In 1905 the house passed to attorney Dominic D. McDonald, who replanted the grounds, whose live oaks date from that time, and who filled the basement when the island was raised in 1907. Its survival and detailing earned it recognition as a notable example of late nineteenth-century Galveston architecture.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1889","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Eastlake","criteria":[],"status_note":"Private residence in good condition; restoration by the owners was in progress at the time of nomination.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:18.936209-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/4/9720/40972004/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/76002030.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/76002030/8f040fb52c-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/76002030/8f040fb52c-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Jim Evans","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:McKinney-McDonald_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Jim Evans</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:McKinney-McDonald_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40972004","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110002059"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/galveston-county/mckinney-mcdonald-house-76002030/"}
