<description><![CDATA[Rosenberg Library will present The Great Storm: Original Photographs from the Devastating Hurricane of September 8, 1900 at The Tremont House, 2300 Ship&rsquo;s Mechanic Row, on Saturday, Aug. 28 from 6 &ndash; 9 pm in conjunction with ArtWalk. The Great Storm presents 102 images during a 15-minute PowerPoint from the Rosenberg Library&rsquo;s extensive photographic archives of the hurricane.  The images include panoramic views of ruin, street scenes, and photographs of survivors and relief workers. 
 
&ldquo;Several images of the twin spires of Sacred Heart Catholic Church, which was destroyed in the cataclysm, are perhaps the most haunting, iconic reminders of this disaster,&rdquo; says Head of Special Collections Casey Greene.
 
The 1900 Storm is the nation&rsquo;s deadliest recorded natural disaster.  It claimed upwards of 8,000 lives on Galveston Island and several thousand more on the mainland.  A storm surge of almost 16 feet covered every part of Galveston.
 
Library staff will sell reproductions of historic color postcards from the Forshey Collection. In 2009, Rocky and Sherrie Forshey donated over 700 postcards of Galveston, circa 1898-1930, to the Rosenberg Library. The reproductions illustrate postcards depicting such topics as beach scenes, the Seawall, Hotel Galvez, and other Galveston landmarks.
 
Rosenberg Library, located at 23rd and Sealy, suffered extensive damage from Hurricane Ike. The library is currently undergoing a major renovation. To make donations toward the renovations visit www.Rosenberg-Library.org or call (409) 763-8854.

<description><![CDATA[
The Tremont House&rsquo; first Mardi Gras Ball hosted by Cynthia and George Mitchell was held on Feb. 16, 1985 with the revival of the city&rsquo;s celebration of Mardi Gras in Galveston. In 1985, ball goers were entertained by live performances by the Jim Cullum Jazz Band, Russell Jackson and Brennan&rsquo;s Bunch and the legendary jazz clarinetist Pete Fountain. Ball goers also watched the first Knights of Momus Grand Night Parade as it passed in front of the hotel in grand style. The first mile-long parade was a &ldquo;Salute to the Age of Mythology&rdquo; and drew an estimated 75,000 people.
 
The hotel invites the public to see its collection of Mardi Gras Ball invitations dating back to 1985 during a special exhibit held in conjunction with ArtWalk on Saturday, Jan. 23 from 6 to 9 p.m. The exhibit is called The Tremont House Celebrates Mardi Gras - 26 years of Celebration through Invitations and Doubloons. Every year, the George Mitchell family produces a custom invitation and accompanying doubloon to celebrate the hotel&rsquo;s annual celebration of Mardi Gras.
 
The Tremont House Annual Mardi Gras Ball and Parade Viewing Party provides one of the best vantage points to watch the Momus Grand Night Parade. Over the years, the hotel has celebrated Mardi Gras with various themes including its salute to Hollywood, Texas, the Roaring 20&rsquo;s, Broadway, and Circus as well as Parisian Nights, Venetian Nights, Cosmic Carnival, Carnaval de Brazil, Viva Espana, and Viva La Noche just to name a few.
 
This year, The Tremont House, a Wyndham Grand Hotel, celebrates &ldquo;A Chinese New Year&rdquo; at the 26th Annual Mardi Gras Ball and Parade Viewing Party on Saturday, Feb. 13, 2010.

<description><![CDATA[The Tremont House, a Wyndham Grand Hotel and National Trust Historic Hotel of America, recently unveiled a new look for its historic Belmont Suites.
 
Each floor offers a series of three adjoining suites and parlors. Suites feature an elegant sitting area, guest bathroom, dining table and bar in each parlor. Suites are decorated in a classic neutral palette and furnished with either Baker or McGuire furniture, a custom rug created by Brintons and new classic white plantation shutters. Adjoining bedrooms are furnished with JANUS et Cie headboards and Anichini bedding manufactured in Italy. The Belmont suites continue to give a historic feel with its soaring ceiling and tall windows but now with a charming modern touch. Upon arrival, guests will discover the Belmont suites are stocked with fresh flowers, gourmet snacks and coffee, robes and slippers. Guests also receive complimentary Wi-Fi and turndown service. Additionally, table service is be available in two suites. 
 
The Tremont House is located in the 1879 Leon &amp; H. Blum Building in the heart of historic downtown Galveston. The east section of the hotel houses the newly renovated Belmont Suites. This adjoining building dates back to 1873 and was converted into a hotel in 1909 when it opened as the Royal Hotel.  At this time, the fifth and sixth floors were added. This hotel was later operated as the Palmetto House Hotel and the Belmont Hotel.  It was known as the Belmont Hotel from 1968 until 1979 when a fire damaged the building. The fifth and sixth floors were then removed by the current owners Cynthia and George Mitchell as they made renovations to the hotel in the l980&rsquo;s in preparation for a grand opening in 1985.  The hotel now offers three levels of suites on the second through fourth floors. 
 
The hotel&rsquo;s historic Toujouse Bar dates back to the 1870s and is open daily from 2 to 10 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays and from 2 p.m. to midnight Fridays and Saturdays. Guests can enjoy live entertainment by country-jazz singer Nina Kay from 5 to 10 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. The bar specializes in martinis, single-malt scotches and small-batch bourbons as well as top brands of beer and wine. Additionally, The Rooftop Bar at The Tremont House is open seasonally and offers a bird&rsquo;s-eye view of Galveston.
 
A new Tremont Caf&eacute;, which opened in August 2009, offers Starbucks coffee, specialty flatbread pizza cooked in a brick pizza oven, gourmet and hot pressed sandwiches, salads, soups, house-made pastries and desserts. The cafe serves breakfast, lunch and dinner and provides items for room service.  The Tremont House offers complimentary wireless Internet service in the lobby, Tremont Caf&eacute; and in all guest rooms and suites.
 
The Tremont House is owned by Galveston preservationists Cynthia and George Mitchell and is part of Mitchell Historic Properties. For information call (409) 763-0300 or (800) WYNDHAM, or visit www.WyndhamTremontHouse.com.

Rocky and Sherrie Forshey donated more than 700 postcards of Galveston, circa 1900-1930, to The Galveston and Texas History Center at Rosenberg Library in February 2009. A portion of this collection will be on display for this exhibit. 
 
The collection includes souvenir postcards as well as postcards of the seawall and beaches, tourist attractions, buildings, residences, landscapes and popular hotels including the 1911 Hotel Galvez. The Forsheys collected these postcards over ten years. Library staff will have reproductions of some historic images available for purchase during the event. Sales will benefit the Rosenberg Library.
 
This is the first exhibit of a series from Rosenberg Library that will be held in conjunction with ArtWalk at The Tremont House. Future ArtWalks are scheduled on Oct. 10 and Nov. 28.
