English: The Steffens-Drewa House and its associated structures comprise a significant site in the history of late l9th- and early 20th-century Galveston. The original house was built in 1870 by Dr. Ferdinand Steffens, a German emigre and Galveston physician. The property contained both his residence and his office. His son-in-law, Edward Drewa, was a master craftsman and building contractor, and he, too, used the property both as residence and business. Drewa extensively enlarged and remodeled the house over the 20 year period from 1895 to 1914. The house is architectural hybrid, incorporating Queen Anne, Bungalow, and Gulf Coast vernacular elements.
