ABOUT THE 1883 WILLIAM L. MOODY BUILDING LOFTS

William Lewis Moody contracted renowned Galveston architect Nicholas Clayton in 1883 to design this commercial building to house his cotton commission and banking operations. Clayton’s design features ornamental brick work, cast iron storefronts and triple windows framed with brick surrounds and yellow tile. Originally four-stories tall, the building’s decorative cornice and fourth floor were lost during the 1900 Storm. A recent rehabilitation of the building preserved the ground floor commercial space and redesigned the upper floors to support a private event venue and luxury loft apartments.
