  I've toured the Bishop's Palace about 4 times now showing Galveston to visiting relatives. The home feels peaceful but the basement gives me the creeps so bad that I want to run out of it. Thanks for explaining that at one time it was a medical school. That explains why someone like me who is just psychic enough to pick things up would get heebee jeebies in the basement area. I've tried to laugh it off for years. I also get spooked at the Galvez. The bathroom by the spa always has things act up when I go in there. Last time I walked in there a trash can launched at least 6 feet into the mirrors over the sinks. If you turn up any stories about the chapel being haunted, please post a video! That area is really haunted too.

  I suppose it isn't in the "historical" records, though it was personal knowledge in our family, but Mr. Attilio Martini was all set to buy this property before it was "The Bishop's Palace". The only reason he had to pass on it was because of his wife "Conceta" being too frail to climb the high steps in the front on her own, and he had to carry her up just to get inside. She didn't want to be seen doing that, so they never bought it or moved in. He was my Great-grandfather so I might have grown up in that mansion. Of course I would have begging and pleaded for the highest room overlooking the gulf. I was also told that all those fireplaces were imported all the way from Italy, too. My great-grandfather was City Manager of Galveston at one time, so I don't think he would have passed on lies or anything. That was a decent video you created, too. Lots of history in that one property. It's nice to see it still stands proudly after all Galveston has experienced. "Maine" says "hello".

  Thanks for such a great and fascinating comment. Wouldn't it have been wonderful to grow up in that house? I can just imagine how lovely it would have been to sit on one of the terraces watching the sun go down and sipping an iced tea.

  @@kateg7298 Or to be a little kid playing hide and seek with his two sisters, like I would have had it! You reply has me closing my eyes and picturing sipping iced tea on a beautiful sunny day on one of those terraces, too. That's a perfectly perfect idea you came up with! Easy on the sugar with mine, and not too much ice or it'll water down the taste of the tea. Maybe throw in a slice of ice cold watermelon while we're at it? Hey, had anyone seen "Free Toes" the dog lately? Probably asleep on another one of the terraces! I suppose I better open my own eyes and wake up myself. It was a nice dream while it lasted though!

  Man, I was hoping to see shots of the 3rd floor. The 1st 2 floors are self guided with an audio device, but the 3rd floor is limited and guided. We went in February and the 3rd floor/attic tour wasn’t available on the day we were there. It has the boys bedrooms and so much more. I’ll have to go back and see it sometime.

  That’s what the research said, I know the war was 1861-1865 but maybe it was the years leading up to the “actual war”, who knows the description wasn’t really detailed enough. But makes sense, because of the tension rising up leading to the Al war was bad enough so that’s what stopped the construction which makes sense

  Thanks for sharing this video on the grand old House .. I believe Baylor Hospital or Children's hospital has now purchased the house and land . I hope they keep it as it is Throughout the past three decades , my company did most of the masonry restoration work on Thistle Hill . We tuck pointed all of the chimneys with matching mortar color and sealed the bricks .. we tuck pointed all around the house . At one point , especially on the East facing , the basement walls were bowing in .. we had to remove soil and rebuild some portions of wall and repair many cracks through the basement, strengthening the walls as we went , to prevent further movement. The basement alone on this house is huge ..you could probably put 1000 people in it , standing as a group .. huge . We worked on most of the auxiliary buildings as well .. basically , anything that needed masonry repairs , we did that work . It's a beautiful house ..Ft Worth has lost many beautiful homes and other buildings..we worked on many of them .. and still do , from time to time .
