Call NowFencing for the Silk Stocking Historic District
Silk Stocking has been a designated local historic district since 1975, covering all or part of nineteen blocks of late-Victorian Galveston. Unlike the open-lawn enclaves west of Broadway, fenced front yards are part of this district’s historic character — which is exactly why the design of a new fence gets looked at here.

Silk Stocking was designated a local historic district in 1975 and takes in all or part of nineteen blocks, so anything built along the street edge sits in a streetscape the city actively protects.
The fence permit application asks directly whether the property is in a historic district or is a historic landmark. Where it is, photographs of any existing fences on the site and the design of the proposed fence go in with the application. In practice most fencing is handled under administrative approval by the historic preservation officer during the building permit process rather than at a full Landmark Commission hearing.

Not Sure Which Fence Fits Your Home?
Call (346) 910-8641What the Historic District Adds to a Fence Permit
The City of Galveston fence permit application asks outright whether the property is in a historic district or is a historic landmark. Where the answer is yes, two extra items go in with the application: photographs of any existing fences on the site, and the design of the proposed fence.
That sounds heavier than it is. Most fencing is handled under administrative approval and reviewed by the historic preservation officer during the building permit process, rather than going to a full Landmark Commission hearing. We prepare the photographs and the design drawing as part of the job, so the submission is complete first time.

Yes. The city fence permit application asks whether the property is in a historic district or is a historic landmark. If it is, you submit photographs of any existing fences on the site along with the design of the proposed fence. Most fencing is then handled under administrative approval by the historic preservation officer during the building permit process.
Yes — Silk Stocking is within our confirmed Galveston Island service area, along with Kempner Park, San Jacinto, and the rest of the East End historic districts.
Ornamental iron and painted wood picket read correctly against the period architecture in this district, and fenced front yards are historically appropriate here in a way they are not in the open-lawn neighbourhoods. We build both with coastal-grade finishes and hot-dip galvanized or stainless fixings so the look stays period-correct without corroding.
