1328 Sealy.

Galveston Island, Texas

East End Historic District - built 1889
This photo was taken on September 8th, 121 years after the devastating 1900 Hurricane that destroyed 90% of the island and killed over 6,000 residents. Homes built prior to 1900 are true survivors.
Beneath the porch lamp, there is a diamond shaped emblem. That is a high water marker for the 2008 Hurricane Ike. The second worst storm for Galveston.

TWO flags for the September PBase Scavenger Hunt

A fine old house. Love that big porch. The fence could use a little work though.

We have seen those type of floods where we live and only the strong survive...I love how they've left the fence in not so pristine condition. Beautiful house. V

Great capture of this beautiful survivor, and that must have been a lot of water! V.

the upper bedrooms might be the best bet in hurricane season then...it looks so good in dappled light..

A very beautiful wooden house but the fence needs some repair work V

It reminds me of the American dream, a home with a white picket fence around it!

it´s an elegant house, but maybe too many steps....V.
