William E. Curtis House, Dutch Colonial Revival house in Tampa, United States.
The William E. Curtis House is a residential building with Dutch Colonial roofing design in Tampa's Southeast Seminole Heights area. The roof displays characteristic gambrel forms with curved eaves running along the full length of the structure.
The house was built in 1905 and reflects the architectural style popular in Tampa at that time. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987, documenting an important moment in recognizing the city's early architectural development.
The house reflects Dutch Colonial design language that became popular in early 1900s Tampa. You can see this in the curved rooflines and balanced facade details that distinguish it from surrounding homes.
The house stands at 808 East Curtis Street in Seminole Heights, a residential block of early-1900s homes. It is a private residence as of 2025, so the gambrel roof and two-story frame are seen from the street only; visitors should not expect entry or a tour.
The house is also known as the John F. Durack House, and its name honours William E. Curtis, a nurseryman who owned the property in the early 1900s. The Curtis Street address carries his name. As of 2025 it is still a private residence, so the gambrel roof and frame siding are seen from the street.
