History behind the property of 2714 Avenue H in Galveston, Texas explored and revisited.

J. C. Röhm was the first person to have owned the property of 2714 Avenue H, Galveston, TX. He was known as Pastor J. C. Roehm, who was a Lutheran pastor. He was previously a pastor at Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church at Frelsburg, Texas. He purchased the property in 1842.

Much throughout the 20th century is when his land was used as industrial property. This is no surprise as much land located in Northwest Galveston is zoned as industrial. Oil drilling equipment was stored in the warehouse built on this property of his.

J. C. Röhm sold his property to Mrs. Paul J. Edwards sometime during the 1920s. Mr. Paul J. Edwards and Mrs. Paul J. Edwards also owned the property of 2714 Avenue H much throughout the 1960s. However the name was in Mrs. Paul J. Edwards name instead of her husband’s name. As that was the case with many Texas landowners. (Ref: Galveston Tribune, Friday, September 27, 1963)

Mitchell Energy Corp sold the property to Wagner Oil Co via bill of sale in 2002. Today Wagner Oil Co owns the property. Today Wagner Oil Co occupies the location of 2714 Avenue H, Galveston, Texas, US 77550. (Ref: https://propaccess.trueautomation.com/clientdb/Property.aspx?prop_id=103311)
