History

The E.S. Levy Building at 2221-2225 Market Street was redesigned in 1896 as the E.S. Levy & Co. department store, reusing walls from the earlier Tremont Opera House on the site. Architect Charles Bulger, newly arrived in Galveston, handled the 1896 remodeling and added another floor in 1908. The building housed the upscale clothing store on its ground floor with more than eighty professional offices above and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 13, 2003.
