Murdochs in Galveston, Texas

Murdochs in Galveston, Texas

With all the destruction that Galveston suffered from Hurricane Ike in September of 2008, it's great to see some of our seawall businesses come back over the water. Many shops were destroyed from the crashing surf, including the historic Balinese Room.

One of Galveston's most beloved is Murdochs, which was built in the 1800's and was known as Murdoch's Bathhouse.

It's nice to see Murdocks being rebuilt.

Opening is planned for spring 2010.

We've come a long way in one year, since the storm. Our island has been busier this year than it has in the last 5 years.

This photo below shows the place where the former Murdoch's once was located.

We are all glad to see the new construction, and know it will be back, as so many other "over the water" shops will be.
