French entrepreneur and Texas transplant Felix Mistrot built the home as his personal residence back in 1897. The home was one of the few structures that survived the Great Storm of 1900. The hurricane destroyed some 7,000 buildings on the island, killed between 6,000 and 12,000 people and remains the deadliest natural disaster in U.S. history.
