The restoration of the Moody mansion in Galveston, Texas is another wonderful find. It is such a treasure for the Galveston community. I for one, am happy to see it still stands. For those that do not know the history behind the Moody mansion I have attached an article that includes pictures of the restoration and another about the history of the Moody family. I was surprised that the structure saw minimal damage from the hurricane of 1900.
