While historians continue to debate parts of the familiar legend, records show Ross was an accomplished tradeswoman who made flags for the government for decades.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The home&#8217;s remarkable story extends beyond the Revolutionary era. When it faced demolition in the late 19th century, Americans from across the country came together to preserve it, contributing through 10-cent memberships. It was an early demonstration of the\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">collective pride and community spirit that continue to give historic places their meaning.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Its Redfin listing-style page looks beyond the legend to explore Ross as a business owner, working mother and survivor who built an extraordinary life within two small, rented rooms.<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"h-1892-bishop-s-palace-a-remarkable-home-that-became-a-refuge\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0.75em;\"><b>1892 Bishop\u2019s Palace: A Remarkable Gilded Age Home<\/b><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Built between 1887 and 1892, Bishop\u2019s Palace was designed by Nicholas J. Clayton, Galveston\u2019s most influential architect, for lawyer and congressman Walter Gresham, his wife, Josephine, and their seven children. The home spans 52 rooms and 19,086 square feet. It became the residence of Bishop Byrne after the Catholic Church purchased it in 1923.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter is-resized\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0.75em;\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"687\" class=\"wp-image-87817\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1.490538573508006; width: 1024px; height: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/BishopsPalaceExterior-1024x687.png\" alt=\"Exterior of 1892 Bishop's Palace in Galveston, Texas, Image Courtesy of Redfin\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/BishopsPalaceExterior-1024x687.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/BishopsPalaceExterior-300x201.png 300w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/BishopsPalaceExterior-768x515.png 768w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/BishopsPalaceExterior-1536x1030.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/BishopsPalaceExterior-scaled.png 1789w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each detail of the home was custom-chosen, from hand-carved woodwork throughout to a dining room ceiling mural painted by Josephine herself. At the heart of the home, an octagonal mahogany rotunda staircase rises beneath French stained glass, surrounded by finishes from Venice, Holland and North Africa. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The property also includes a few conversation pieces, among them Josephine\u2019s china collection, the original bed, Walter\u2019s desk and Bishop Byrne\u2019s player piano.
