Bought by W.L. Moody six days after the 1900 storm (reportedly for “ten cents on the dollar”), this imposing 28,000-square-foot
limestone and-brick mansion has 32 rooms filled with opulent furnishings and heirlooms from one of Texas’s most powerful families.
When W.L. Moody died in 1954, TIME magazine proclaimed him one of the 10 wealthiest men in the country.
