A City on Stilts
GALVESTON (1902)  The process of rebuilding continued in Galveston after 18 months of cleanup following the most destructive storm ever to come ashore in the United States.
   By this time in 2902, plans were being implemented to raise the level of the city by up to 15 feet and adding an enormous breaker along the beach that would absorb the force of any future storm surges. Construction on this new "Sea Wall" will began later in 1902.
