Located in the historic riverfront district of Jefferson at 403 N. Walnut Street, the Culberson House is named for David B. Culberson, Jr. who built this Greek Revival home about the year 1867. David B. Culberson, Jr. was a prominent Jefferson attorney and politician in Jefferson’s golden era as a steamboat port. He was a State Representative prior to the Civil War and a State Senator in the 1890’s. He served as a United States Congressman for 23 years. This was the boyhood home of his son, Charles Allen Culberson, a lawyer, a Texas Attorney General, Governor and U.S. Senator. This storied home was occupied by David Culberson and his wife, Anna Culberson, during their lifetime. It was acquired by Jack and Bonnie Stewart who modified its appearance and floor plan to improve its grand appearance and to increase its floor space. In 1996, the Culberson House was acquired by B.B. Barr and Jo Barr and it was extensively redecorated with the addition of an enclosed garage, guest quarters and landscaping to make the Culberson House one of the most elegant and beautiful homes in Texas.
