About this home
Known as “Darling’s Birdcage,” this distinctive 19th-century residence is a remarkable piece of Galveston history. Originally built for Curtis Ames Darling and his wife, Sarah, the home was moved to its present Broadway address in 1908 and now stands within the celebrated East End Historic District. Inside, 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths and 2,177 sq ft unfold with extraordinary and unique personality—soaring ceilings, rich wood floors, intricate millwork, stained and leaded glass, substantial wood doors, an elegant staircase and a gas fireplace. The character continues in the striking kitchen with abundant wood cabinetry, granite counters and commercial-style gas range, while the baths offer equally distinctive period-inspired details. Outside, enjoy a fenced yard, deck, mature landscaping and detached 2-car garage. Darling’s Birdcage is more than a home—it’s a captivating chapter of Galveston history ready for its next steward.
