W. H. Stark House

The W.H. Stark House is a stunning 14,000-square-foot Victorian home in Orange, Texas, showcasing the opulence of the late 19th century. Built in 1894 for William Henry and Miriam Lutcher Stark, the house features exquisite Queen Anne architecture, including high ceilings, intricate woodwork, and a unique collection of family antiques. After being closed for decades, it was restored and opened as a museum in 1981, offering visitors a glimpse into the lives of a philanthropic family deeply connected to the local community. The house is part of the Nelda C. and H.J. Lutcher Stark Foundation, which promotes education and the arts in Southeast Texas.
