Powhatan Wren House - I love the historic homes on Galveston Island.
Finally got some sunshine and tolerable temperatures. Very hard to be insprired to do anything when it is cold and icy.
The ice storm closed down all of our jobs and the schools for two days.
But today, it was sunny with just a cool breeze, sweater weather. :)
Powhatan Wren was born in Powhatan County, Virginia in 1842 and moved to Galveston by 1867.
He worked for the Galveston, Houston & Harrisburg Railroad as a freight agent, and later as a city clerk and county clerk, and as chief clerk of the U.S. Customs House.
The 1900 hurricane obliterated most of the surrounding neighborhoods, but this house survived.
