Шаблон:Infobox NRHP Galveston Orphans Home, also known as Galveston Children's Home, was founded in 1878 by George Dealey (1829-1891)[1] and moved to this location in Galveston, Texas in 1880. The original Gothic revival building was constructed from 1894-1895 with funding from Henry Rosenberg. It was destroyed by the storm of 1900 and newspaper publisher William Randolph Hearst hosted a charity bazaar at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City to raise funds for a rebuild. It was completed in 1902. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 21, 1979.[2] It is located at 1315 21st Street.

J.P. Bryan, a retired Texas oilman, purchased the Galveston Orphans Home on October 11, 2013 and thoroughly restored the building. The Bryan Museum opened its doors to the public in June 2015.
