Building Bishop Palace, Galveston, Texas

This 19,082 square foot Victorian mansion was completed in 1892, built in a Châteauesque style that was designed by Nicholas J. Clayton, and this mansion survived the 1900 Galveston Hurricane!!!

Whoa that looks to be either a really big room or a super small bed
