ABOUT THE 1929 EDWARD AND KATHERINE RANDALL HOUSE
Dr. Edward and Katherine Risher Randall hired Houston architect John Staub to design this imposing two-story brick American Neoclassical house with Georgian influences in 1929. Built by Galveston contractor Tom Brown, newspaper reports during construction touted the “outstanding” house as one of the most attractive homes built that year in the city. In 1932, Staub designed a two-story addition on the east side of the house to support a library and second-story bedroom and four years later, Staub expanded the loggia/sleeping porch on the west side of the house. Mrs. Randall served as the chairperson of the first GHF homes tour in 1975. The current rehabilitation of the house is supervised by Galveston Historical Foundation.
