Sebastopol House State Historic Site

Sebastopol House State Historic Site is a residential building showcasing Greek Revival style located in Seguin, Texas. The structure features a spacious front porch with tall columns and ornamental woodwork typical of 1850s construction methods and design.

The house was built in the mid-1800s by J.P. Gallet using limestone and adobe construction methods common in early Texas settlements. These building techniques were essential for withstanding the harsh climate and environmental conditions of the region.

The house served as a gathering place where Seguin residents met and shared their daily lives. The rooms still reflect how families and neighbors came together in this space.

The site is open to visitors who can take guided tours to learn about the architectural details and the house's history. Check the opening hours before planning your visit.

The building represents one of the finest examples of Greek Revival residential design in Texas with its perfectly balanced symmetrical layout. The restoration preserved the original character, showing how residents arranged and decorated their homes during that era.
