@exploretex: Galveston was once the “New York of the South” before the 1900 Storm. And still has remains of an old world, way ahead of its time. Let me know in the comments any interesting Galveston Lore you know about! #galvestontexas #texashistory #exploretexas #texasbeaches

Mr Hookem :

Nicholas Clayton was a busy man

olllipoppp :

Man I’m so sad these buildings are gone. Why would they demolish I don’t understand?

ladycarolion :

I was married at Ashton Villa, see the black line at the top of the 12ft mirror next to me, that the waterline from the great storm of 1900

WatkiBanNaCreations Bree :

Mr. Clayton was a major player back then.

dasbuttnater :

Why do they demolish such epic buildings to be replaced with literally a f****** square of concrete that is dull And depressing?

stephieh00 :

The number of amazing ones that have been demolished for one reason or another is astounding and SAD

The beach hotel was rebuilt into the Grand Galveston hotel a couple years after the fire and hurricane

My grandfather built the 1900 storm memorial and dolphins on the seawall! 😊

They filmed parts of the show 1923, one of the prequels to Yellowstone, at Ashton Villa a couple of years back

Jasmine Maxey :

Idc how damaged these buildings were 🤦🏽‍♀️I’d spend however much restoring them not demolishing

There are buildings on the strand that are survivors of the 1900 storm. They all have little plaques inside commemorating the buildings and their history

How has our infrastructure gone so damn far downhill with poor quality. Allll the resources and technology and they were outdoing the shit out of us back then.
