the grand has stood through notable hurricanes, including the galveston hurricane of 1900, galveston hurricane of 1915, hurricane carla, and hurricane ike. the grand began as a major, live performing arts theatre but after passing through a vaudeville phase, it slowly evolved into a movie house. the movie house closed in 1974 and was purchased the same year by the galveston county cultural arts council. they transformed the movie house back into a theatre and then renovated and restored it to its former beauty. the restoration included volunteer efforts and support from private foundations. the theatre was listed in the national register of historic places as "1894 grand opera house" in 1974. the galveston county cultural arts council owned the opera house until 1986, when it became a stand-alone organization known as 1894, inc. maureen m. patton is the grand's executive director, having served as director under the arts council beginning in 1981. hurricane ike hit galveston island on september 13, 2008, but the grand was reopened on january 3, 2009 on its 114th anniversary. all of the damage that the hurricane and the flood had caused was repaired with only 92 days of construction.
