There are 31 rooms in the house. |
The elegant light fixtures and furniture were the latest styles of their time. Each room had wall sconces and over head fixtures in matching designs made for each individual room. |
Each room had it's own character andcolors. |
This was damaged in a Hurricane but restored to it's original design. It is about 4 feet wide and 12 feet tall. It was placed on the landing as you came half way up the stairs. |
Seems were going back to this style with free standing tubs. The tin container on the wall was for heating water for the bath tub, guess what? It was made in Kalamazoo Michigan. |
Lots of furniture made in wood have claw feet, this combination of stone and metal with claw feet is unique. |
The windows went down to the floor something I've never seen in houses. Each room had so much natural light. |
The 1877 Ellisa is a restored tall ship that is actually sailed to events by volunteers dedicated to keeping the ship functioning., they spend months learning how to sail her. |
She sits at dock in Galveston a working harbor. |
Coming up to the deck. |
The amount of rigging and ropes was unbelievable, it takes volunteers 3 months to learn about the sails and ropes. |
Every where you look there is rigging. |
Can you imagine standing there in a storm trying to steer and read the gauges. |
