NOT a mandatory-dues HOA. Governed by the East End Historical District Association (EEHDA), a voluntary civic/preservation group, formed 1974-75. Actual land-use control comes from the City of Galveston's local historic-district designation (1971) and National Historic Landmark status (1976) — not private covenants.
