• Ezekiel Cullen House - Built in 1839 by noted architect Augustus Phelps, it eventually became the home of Judge Ezekiel Cullen, an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Texas, and a member of the 3rd Congress. The house was presented to the Ezekiel Cullen Chapter of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas in 1953 by Hugh Roy Cullen, a grandson of Ezekiel Cullen.

  The Cullen House is now used as a Community House and Museum. It houses a collection of paintings by the renowned artist, S. Seymour Thomas, a native of San Augustine. Thomas was the grandson of the well-known Republic of Texas figure and signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence, Stephen W. Blount. After Thomas' death in 1956, his daughter Jean Haskell donated a large portion of his works, awards, and other memorabilia to the DRT, who established the Seymour Thomas Art Gallery in a prominent location in the Cullen Home.

  The Cullen House, located at 205 South Congress in San Augustine, is open to the public. For more information, call (936) 275-5110.
