About this property
Welcome to The Blue Owl!
Welcome to The Blue Owl! New listing and prime location!
Located on a quite tree lined street, our beautiful leaning lady, The Blue Owl has stood proud for over 123 years. She was finished by famed architect, George Stowe, just before the great storm on September 8, 1900. She floated on the storm surge a full four blocks from where she stands and was miraculously moved back to her original location.
Staying in our 1900 hurricane survivor in Galveston, Texas offers a unique and historically rich experience that immerses guests in the resilience of the past. This remarkable house stands as a living testament to the devastating hurricane of 1900, which remains the deadliest natural disaster in U.S. history. Guests can not only enjoy comfortable accommodations but also gain a profound understanding of the strength and determination of the people who weathered that storm.
The home's charming architecture and carefully preserved details transport visitors back in time, providing a glimpse into Galveston's history. It offers a rare opportunity to connect with the past while enjoying all the amenities of the present, making it a compelling destination for history enthusiasts and those seeking an extraordinary lodging experience on the Gulf Coast. The Blue Owl is a few Blocks from the Strand district and a few blocks from the Sea Wall. You will be in the middle of it all. We believe you will not only thoroughly enjoy your stay but will want to return year after year!
