Ashton Villa was built in 1859 by James Moreau Brown, a wholesale hardware merchant, railroad corporation president and banker.

Great shot Lynn. This one is my favorite so far. I like the brickwork, shutters and wrought iron porch. "V"

Another Galveston beauty.... the damage you see on the trunks of those old palms comes from the historic freezes of 1983 and 1989. Jv V!
