Designed to
blend with neighboring Victorian homes, the Ronald McDonald House of Galveston
was officially opened in 1989 as a home away from home for families who have
traveled to Galveston to obtain medical treatment for their seriously ill or
injured children. Incorporating a whimsical style that utilizes teddy bear and
heart motifs in basic architectural elements such as windows, banisters and rain
spouts, the three-story residential facility includes 20 bedrooms, a living
room, family and dining rooms, kitchen, library, playroom, laundry facilities,
outdoor patios, an office, and on-site manager’s quarters.
Sometimes
referred to as the “house that love built,” the Ronald McDonald House was
initiated by the Junior League of Galveston County, Inc., and is operated by a
local, non-profit organization.
