Stockton & Culver Houses

If you plan to attend the Fox Theatre production in May, you may want to see two important historical homes in the neighborhood with connections to Culver-Stockton College.

The Robert H. Stockton House is located at 3508 Samuel Shepard Drive. Designed in 1890 by the architectural Firm of Barnett, Haynes and Barnett, the home is on the National Register of Historic Places and is one of the few remaining homes in what was once a residential area. Made of carved limestone and red slate it is Romanesque Revival architecture.

Nearby is the Culver House, now home to the Portfolio Gallery and Educational Center. Located at 3514 Delmar, it was designed for Lucius L. and Mary Culver. This house, built in 1890, has lost sections of ornamentation and has some of its windows infilled with glass block. The house interior contains many exceptional finishes.

The Culvers and Stocktons were neighbors and business partners in the Majestic Stove Company. Because of their generous support of Christian University, the board of trustees renamed the institution Culver-Stockton College in 1917.
