I bought this house on Avenue P near 29th Street and lived in it 3 or 4 years. The paint's peeling now. I rode out Hurricane Alicia in this dwelling. Only had a couple broken windows, but boy did this place creak and you should have heard the mice squeaking when the storm blew through. That hurricane killed 22 people but nobody died in Galveston. All the deaths were in Houston and elsewhere on the Mainland.
