Its is a five-bay-wide center-hall gulf coast cottage. Walter was a Civil War veteran and he established the Texas Ice Company, which shipped ice from Maine and Massachusetts to Galveston. This home was a 1900 Storm Survivor. As a result, parts of the island was lifted and the sea wall was built. Part of the home was given to his son in the early 1900s. Original foundation bricks were used for the walkways and back fountain. The house has seen several owners since then but in the early 2000s, it was partially restored to its early American design. It has been featured on the cover of Houston House & Home and was featured on the Galveston Historical Homes Tour. In 2022, Michael and Ashley Cordray from the television show "Restoring Galveston" bought and restored the Ansell house to its former glory. It has the best of both worlds - the Historic home charm but with all of the modern amenities such as a chef's kitchen, private pool, new central air-conditioning, Smart TVs and super fast WIFI! This house is a Historic Galveston Gem worth experiencing! Registration number GVR-12886
