Summary

Description
English: Built in the mid-1890s, this late Victorian home was owned by Maud J. H. Moller from about 1895 until 1911. She and her husband, Jens, were prominent in Galveston business and political circles. Cotton exporter and Swiss Consul Ulrich Muller resided in the home from 1898 to 1910. Interesting features of the home include the curving stairway to the porch, the Queen Anne columns, and the corner pavilion. . . . . .

This late Victorian house was built in 1894 or 1895. . . . . .

The first sale of lots 1 and 2 in Block 258 was in 1843 when the Galveston City Company sold them to Ambrose Hall. Ambrose Hall was a drayman when he was listed in the United States Census of 1850. He came to the United States from England and was married to Martha Ann. They had two children, Henry A., three years old, and another infant four months old. Hall sold the property to C.B, Adams in 1852. . . . . .

C.B. Adams was an early settler in Galveston. He was justice of the peace and Associate Justice of the Galveston County Court under Chief Justice R.D, Johnson in 1839 . . . . .

The site at one time belonged to Dr. A. W. Fly, a prominent doctor in Texas and Mayor of the city of Galveston from 1894 to 1899. Dr. Fly's residence at this location was destroyed in the fire of November 13, 1885 that burned over forty blocks of the city.
