One of the
few surviving buildings of the 1900 hurricane was Gresham’s Palace, later to
become known as the Bishop’s Palace.
The
Gresham’s took in hundreds of survivors of the hurricane in the lavish four
stories of the ornate stone house.
Now a museum
that you can tour for $12 each. A bit
high by shoestring standards, but so worth it. The $12 includes the use of a hand held recording that leads you on yur self guided tour.
You start
your tour in the sub-basement of the home in the gift shop, from there you
climb the stairs to the upper three levels of the home.
There are
many of the original furnishings still in the home, some very unique including
a postcard box storage box.
I think it
would be best just to let the pictures speak for this beautiful home.
