The Culver Home was built in the 1890's for owner George B. Culver and was designed by architect Roy Shoultz in a Colonial style with two large galleries and a cupola. The house was built of Louisiana pine and cypress, and tile for its fireplace was brought from England. Distinguished visitors included statesmen and railroad and church leaders in Texas. Culver, a pioneer of the Intracoastal Canal, drilled the first artesian well in the townsite in 1904.
