BenH Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 A few months back, this was posted in the thread entitled "Bill's House":"I could be mis-remembering but I seem to remember that Thomas Price was a friend of Howard Barnstone's, and he served as Barnstone's guide during his researching of what became the book _The Galveston That Was_ in the mid-60s. Apparently, Price died in Galveston from a freak fall just before a meeting with Barnstone, and Barnstone was, as you might expect, deeply upset by this. Price stepped through some kind of emergency exit door while trying to find a restroom and fell several feet to his death. The story is related in the introduction to _The Galveston That Was_; or I could be all wrong and it was someone else." Lucky for mod fans, that was not in fact Thomas Price. It was a man named Tom RICE, as Barnstone says in the introduction to The Galveston That Was. Thomas M. Price died in 1998, and designed a large number of modern houses in Galveston, most of which are in the Galveston Architecture Guide. He also designed many other buildings including the Nimitz Museum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
