Unfortunately, Galveston and our historic are all too familiar with surviving the Great Storm of 1900, only to be demolished years later in the name of “progress.”

Today’s takes us north to Houston, where demolition began on the historic Kirby Mansion, affectionately known by the family as “Inglenook.” Originally built in 1894 and transformed into its familiar Tudor Revival form in 1926 by J.H. Kirby, the home endured hurricanes, a rising skyline, and being surrounded by elevated highways, only to meet the wrecking ball 132 years later.

Our cover photo features one of Galveston’s most iconic losses: the Ursuline Academy (will feature in the near future). The photographs, articles, and maps that follow feature the Kirby Mansion story.

These losses make us especially thankful for our island’s preservation efforts—and for everyone working to steward what remains into the future.

There is still so much worth saving. Thank you to all those dedicated to preserving our history.
