So this is the house I live in. It's an old Victorian style home. It's huge!! Two stories and a walk in crawl space underneath where we store all of our tools. Yes, I live on Winnie St. Like Winnie the Pooh!! There are a lot of homes like ours on the island.
Below is more homes and buildings on the island. Interesting fact, Galveston was actually the largest city in Texas before the big hurricane in 1900.
The church picture is an ELCA Lutheran Church on our street. Galveston has a ton of churches!! There are three Episcopal churches alone on the island!
The picture of the brick building shows the water level during Hurricane Ike. It was a devastating storm not so much because of the magnitude of the winds (only a level 2 out of 5) but because it was so large. The storm surge was very large and actually flooded Galveston from the bay side and not the gulf side (where there is a sea wall).
