Strand Lofts - 2402 Mechanic St.


Recommended Posts

My nephew, his girlfriend at the the time and now wife and his classmate and his girlfriend now wife all shared the top floor of the building shortly after they all graduated from Texas A & M Galveston. They all graduated with Maritime Transportation degrees and were all working in Galveston for marine companies getting hours to get more certifications. They asked me to come check it out. Huge 16 foot ceilings with 2 bedrooms and bathrooms. I went there to check it out on Mar. 2012 which was the last time I went to Galveston. I passed by again today. 

This was one of Randall Davis early career loft conversions.

Randall Davis appears to have had a thing for print shops. IIRC, his first loft conversion was the Tribeca Lofts on W. Clay, which is also a former Clarke & Courts facility.
