2019 Holiday Tours

After extensive restoration of both exterior and interior spaces, the Nelda C. & H.J. Lutcher Stark Foundation is happy to announce the re-opening of The W.H. Stark House for 2019 Holiday Tours.

Come and see our newly restored Formal Dining Room, featuring a hand-painted, full ceiling mural by local artist Grace Chadwick. On the second floor, enjoy a glimpse of an intimate family Christmas in our newly restored Sitting Room, complete with silk wall treatment minted in France and installed by the textile team from Woven Inspiration in Galveston, TX. All restoration elements have been painstakingly researched to showcase the House as it was in its prime. We invite you and your family to share the holidays with us in this exciting new chapter at The W.H. Stark House.

Tours are free, but require an on-line reservation. Tour dates are November 29-30, December 1, 6-7, 13-14, 20-21, 2019 and January 10-11, 2020.
