W. H. Stark House, Historic Queen Anne style mansion in downtown Orange, Texas.

The W.H. Stark House is a three-story Queen Anne home of 14,000 square feet at Green Avenue and Sixth Street in Orange, Texas. Its 1894 frame uses cypress for the damp climate and longleaf yellow pine for the turned and fitted woodwork, with ten-inch exterior walls and double interior walls sixteen inches thick. Fifteen rooms hold the family's original furniture, carpets, silver and cut glass.

Built in 1894 by lumber magnate William Henry Stark and his wife Miriam M. Lutcher Stark, this residence reflects the prosperity brought by the East Texas lumber industry during the late 19th century.

The Music Room ceiling is an oil painting on canvas by E. Theo Behr, an allegorical scene with cherubs. The collection includes a one-of-a-kind Gorham sterling silver tea service in the Louis XVI style and a rare copy of the Napoleon death mask. The house is furnished as in the 1920s, with original family furniture, carpets, silver, antique porcelains and American Brilliant Period cut glass.

Open Tuesday through Saturday from 9 AM to 5 PM, the museum offers guided tours for $6 adults, $5 seniors and students, with free admission for active military families through the Blue Star Museums program.

The house features an Eastlake-style wooden staircase crafted from curly longleaf yellow pine and a third-floor tower room offering panoramic views of downtown Orange that was originally designed for staff quarters.
