Gresham House [aka. Bishop’s Palace] Galveston, Texas

The house was built from 1887 to 1892 for Colonel Walter Gresham and his wife Josephine, with whom he had nine children. An attorney and entrepreneur, Gresham came to Galveston from Virginia following his service in the Civil War. He was a founder of the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railroad, eventually working to bring about the merger of the Santa Fe with the Atchison and Topeka Railroad. He also served in the Texas Legislature.

Chief Architect Nicholas Joseph Clayton designed the house. The small lot and oversized house make it an anomaly among similar houses of its period and architectural style. It is Victorian; however, it is more specifically described as Chateausque given the intricate combination of materials, cast iron galleries and complex roof system. Chateausque is a derivative of the French Revival popularized in the latter part of the 19th century by Richard Morris Hunt. Nicholas Clayton, however, expanded on the style by using varicolored and irregularly shaped stone, round Romanesque and depressed Tudor arches with heavily articulated carvings of vegetation, animals, people, and imaginary creatures. Constructed of steel and stone (it survived the Great Storm of 1900 virtually unscathed primarily due to its impressive construction which included stone exterior walls of 23", interior walls of 16″ thick and massive sliding pocket doors throughout the first floor), the Bishop’s Palace soars three stories over a raised basement level, with steep roofs and long sculptural chimneys. Typical of Clayton, he used a combination of simple geometric forms in bold massing to create an additional dramatic effect. In Galveston’s great period of mansion building – the 1870s, 80s and 90s – Gresham’s commission of Nicholas Clayton, Galveston’s premier architect, resulted in Clayton’s most spectacular residential design and arguably the finest of the “Broadway beauties.”

The interior spaces of this museum property are grand with exotic materials such as a pair of Sienna marble columns flanking the entrance hall. The first floor rooms have fourteen foot ceilings with coves and coffers. An octagonal mahogany stairwell is forty feet tall with stained glass on five sides. The stair is lit by a large octagonal skylight. A massive fireplace in the front parlor is made of Santo Domingo mahogany. The house includes abundant stained glass, wood carvings, and decorative plaster ceilings and walls. Other common yet unique woods used at the time included curly pine from Mississippi, now deemed near extinct.

Let's Cruise From Galveston

Introducing Galveston

Galveston is a port city located on a barrier island lying parallel to the mainland of Texas below Houston.

The city’s name comes from the year 1785 when a Spanish ship’s navigator, José de Evia, called the island Galveztown after the Count of Galvez, a nobleman from Spain. In 1836 Michel Menard a native of Canada bought 4,605 acres slice of the island from the Austin Colony for $50,000 to build a town. The city flourished and by the mid 1800s Galveston had turned into a successful city, the center of a large port and affluent business sector. But in 1900 an enormous hurricane swept in from the Gulf bringing a tidal pulse that covered the island, killing more than 6000 inhabitants and ruining any buildings in the way. Galveston’s concrete seawall was constructed following the hurricane, and has since succeeded in defending the city from the worst of over a dozen hurricanes. 

Today the city has risen to become a major city with an important commercial harbor and a successful tourist business.

Touring Galveston

Texas Seaport Museum Visit the Texas Seaport Museum to tour the 1877 tall ship Elissa, which operated as a cargo vessel for almost 100 years. The ship first called at Galveston back in 1883. Walk the decks to visualize life on a freighter sailing ship in the late nineteenth century. The museum is positioned a short walk from the cruise port.

Bishop's Palace To experience how the moneyed lived in the late nineteenth century drop by at the fantastic Bishops Palace. The railroad magnate Walter and Josephine Gresham hired Nicholas Clayton, Galveston's foremost architect, to design and build what is arguably the finest house in old Galveston. The house has an impressive façade with a round turret with spire, stone gables, carved window transoms, intricate coats-of-arms and stone built walls. The souvenir shop in the basement sells a range of ornaments, jewelry and history books. The Bishop’s Palace is sited on Broadway Avenue on the southern side of  the East End, one of Galveston’s historic areas.

Moody Gardens Anybody driving across the causeway to Galveston Island will spot the three huge pyramids of Moody Gardens rising on the western side of the island.  The Aquarium Pyramid, the biggest of the pyramids, contains many species of creatures from across the world. One favorite attraction is the amazing penguins. The Rainforest Pyramid is alive with tropical animals butterflies, reptiles, birds and plants. The Discovery Pyramid focuses on science interactive exhibits. Moody Gardens also features the Palm Beach waterzone, a golf course and a 4D theater. Moody Gardens is positioned by Galveston’s airport, around 7 miles south west of the cruise terminals.

Stewart Beach Lively Stewart Beach Park boasts a wide sweep of grayish sand on the Gulf of Mexico coastline of Galveston island. During the summer season, the beach is swept clean regularly, and controlled by lifeguards.The park is open throughout the week summer, but is closed for winter. Stewart Beach Park is located about a mile south east of the cruise terminals.

Cruise Ideas

A week long excursion around the Caribbean is the most popular itinerary for cruise ships leaving from Galveston. The variety of destinations on offer make for a fabulous holiday

You’ll be able to travel to a wide range of interesting attractions - in Belize enjoy lazy Cave Tubing in the Sibun Caves, in Key West sample tasty Key Lime pie at the legendary Sloppy Joe’s, in Grand Cayman amble along the beautiful sands of gorgeous 7 Mile Beach and in Roatan swim in the crystal clear waters of Half Moon Bay Beach.

For a full calendar of cruises see cruises from Galveston.

Galveston Cruise Terminals

The first large cruise ship to homeport at Galveston was Carnival Celebration, which started operating Caribbean cruises from Galveston in 2000. In 2001 the port’s cruise infrastructure was added to when a second cruise terminal was built to enable a Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines cruise ship to homeport at Galveston.

Cruise Terminal 1

Terminal 1 is used by Carnival and Princess Cruises. The terminal boasts an expansive cruise passenger embark and debark area, efficient baggage handling services and streamlined customs facilities.The terminal services a single ship berth

Cruise Terminal 2

Celebrity Cruises, Princess Cruises and Royal Caribbean operate cruise terminal 2. The terminal boasts streamlined security, a streamlined cruise passenger embarkation and disembarkation floor and baggage handling services. The terminal has access to a single ship berth

Long-term secure car parking is available for both terminals 1 and 2 at two large parking lots. There is a free shuttle service running between the parking lots and the cruise terminals.

For the port authority website see Port Of Galveston.

Transport To The Cruise Terminals

By Car

From the North Take I-45 to Galveston Island.  Leave at Exit 1C.  Follow the blue Galveston cruise terminal sign and turn left onto Harborside Drive (H275).  Continue nearly 5 miles to Kempner/22nd Street, make a left onto Kempner/22nd to arrive at the cruise terminals.  

From the East Take State Highway 87 West towards Galveston.  Take the Port Bolivar ferry.  Leave the ferry onto Highway 87/Ferry road.  After 3/4 mile turn right onto Harborside Drive/H275 Carry on for one mile then turn right onto Kempner/22nd street to reach the cruise terminals.  

By Air

There is no public transport from either George Bush or Hobby airports to Galveston, so most cruisers either rent a car or catch a cruiseline shuttle bus.

josephine gresham: you’ll know it when it happens

comes across as fearless and strong at all times; it’s a facade she has perfected over the years, and few really see past it

largely keeps her emotions on lock down

eg. if someone insults her/her hunter children she won’t lash out in response

however she is totally the sort to work people behind the scenes to ruin their reputation/make life difficult for them, in such a way that it will be near impossible to trace it back to her

she needs to be serious for her work, but tends to take everything seriously

needs to Lighten Up

finds it difficult to let people get close to her, probably due to past experiences where she has lost people :( more on this later

however, she is VERY protective of her hunter family, becomes a fierce mama bear if anyone hurts them

her job is her life’s purpose basically; protecting innocents from evil monsters is what she does

Knows Things™

wiser than her years tbh

on any sort of hunt she always errs on the side of caution - knowledge and planning are everything - and she’ll do whatever it takes to ensure as few as possible casualties, ideally no human deaths

literally knows everything there is to know about all kinds of monsters, even the ones she has not faced herself; she has spent a fair amount of her time as a hunter dedicated to research and training

tries not to get people involved in the hunter lifestyle who don’t already know about monsters as she doesn’t want to endanger people unnecessarily, the hunter life isn’t exactly the best one in terms of life expectancy

however, if the truth will save someone’s life then she may just break that rule, though she is normally able to work around it

Howard largely respects these wishes, since he does most of the recruiting

with the #greshamsquad, she is very much the one in charge who organises everyone for hunts and holds the fort; she makes sure to check in on everyone after each hunt also, if anyone needs medical care or time off then ofc she will make it happen for them

nonetheless she often leads hunts herself, and is an experienced and agile fighter, though she prefers stealth/manipulation to straight battles simply due to there being less risk of people dying (her team or innocents)

proficient in most weapons (she regularly trains, esp if she thinks a certain skill/combat type will be useful in an upcoming hunt) 

her fav is probably her crossbow

has ~connections~ in the hunter community

has a small stack of false identities prepared at any given moment

ULTRA PREPARED IS JOSEPHINE

seriously needs to lighten up

she doesn’t really ever let herself relax or have fun

no one knows this but there’s a lot of fear behind her confident exterior

she’s scared of losing people again, of getting more innocent blood on her hands, scared that if she lets herself enjoy things then she is betraying ? someone?? something? ?? 

it’s not entirely rational but she doesn’t want to dig too deep

she needs to feel guilty, she holds that weight so no one else has to

she doesn’t think she deserves happiness basically

gosh darn this got sad

let’s see how this egypt hunt goes eh?

Galveston, Texas We had a lovely private tour of Bishop’s Palace in Galveston. Bishop’s Palace withstood the great hurricane of 1900, the deadliest hurricane in US history. From Wikipedia: The house was built between 1887 and 1893 by Galveston architect Nicholas J. Clayton for lawyer and politician Walter Gresham, his wife Josephine, and their nine children. In 1923 the Roman Catholic Diocese of…

Oregon’s Recreational Marijuana Tax: A Field Guide

Oregon cannabis taxes

The Oregon Department of Revenue (“DOR”) imposes a point-of-sale tax called the Recreational Marijuana Tax on all Oregon recreational cannabis retailers. The DOR collects 17% of the value of all cannabis sold at each retailer location.

In theory, this tax burden is shared across the entire cannabis production line (producer, processor, distributor, and retailer) by depressing prices. Oregon law also allows cities and counties to impose up to an additional 3% point-of-sale tax, but this additional tax can only be implemented after a vote of approval from local residents. Local jurisdictions can opt to enter into an agreement with the DOR that allows the DOR to collect the tax their behalf, and most jurisdictions that have passed a 3% tax have elected to do so. In these jurisdictions, the DOR will collect a full 20%, and distribute the 3% to the local governments.

The DOR maintains a record of local jurisdictions that have implemented the 3% tax, as well the list of jurisdictions that have entered into a collection agreement with the DOR. In most cases, any local tax issues will be handled on your state tax filings (discussed below), but if you are located in one of the following jurisdictions you will need to contact the local government directly to arrange for payment:

Brookings

Columbia County

Coos County

Cornelius

Dundee

Dunes City

Gilliam County

Gold Hill

Gresham

Hines

Jackson County

Josephine County

La Pine

Lafayette

Rainer

Rockaway Beach

Sheridan

Tillamook (the city)

Tualatin

Veneta

Westfir

Wheeler

Yachats

At the state level, each month every retail location must submit an Oregon Marijuana Tax Monthly Payment Voucher along with payment for the prior month’s tax. The tax can be paid online through the DOR’s Revenue Online website or can be paid by check, money order, or by cash in Salem — with all of the various problems that arise from transporting large quantities of cash. Remember that you will need to submit a separate voucher and payment for each location, so if you have multiple retail cannabis locations you need to track sales separately for each location. In addition to the monthly vouchers, you also need to submit a quarterly return.

What does the State of Oregon do with your hard earned taxes? By law, the DOR distributes the state marijuana tax as follows (taken from the DOR’s Marijuana Fact Sheet):

40 percent for education.

20 percent for purposes for which money in the Mental Health Alcoholism and Drug Services Account may be used.

15 percent for state law enforcement.

10 percent to cities, based on population and number of licensees.

10 percent to counties, based on total available grow canopy size and number of licensees.

5 percent for alcohol and drug abuse prevention, early intervention, and treatment services.

Remember that cannabis businesses are still subject to any other general business taxes imposed by the state or local jurisdiction, and of course federal taxes as well (which you can read more about here, here, here, and here). Oregon’s Recreational Marijuana Tax should, therefore, be only one small part of your tax planning.
