his daughter, Mary Moody Northen lived here until this mansion was damaged (again) by hurricane Alicia in 1983. she died in 1986
this 20-room (after restoration) mansion is carried on today by the Moody Foundation and the Mary Moody Northen, Incorporated, with the intent of carrying out her wishes to use it as a memorial to her family and a museum for Galveston.
there are some locomotives and cars in this museum, but this one particular car most readily available for visitors to climb in and check out the interior.
