One of over 200 historical markers on the island, this marker is located at a Nicholas J Clayton designed home for Jacob Sonnentheil. The marker was erected in 1962 by the Texas Historical Commission.
Inscribed
Built in 1886-87 for German native Jacob Sonnentheil (d. 1908), this home probably was designed by prominent Galveston architect Nicholas J. Clayton. Sonnentheil served with the Confederacy during the Civil War and operated a wholesale dry goods store on The Strand in Galveston. The Sonnentheil house displays influences of Eastlake, Gothic, and Italianate architectural styling. Outstanding features include the finely-crafted double gallery.
