The C. Z. Culver House

A block from Old Towne Orange is a Queen Anne Victorian house that once served as an annex for the nearby Palmyra Hotel, a grand Victorian that attracted visitors to the growing agricultural region in the late 1800s. While the hotel didn’t survive, the C. Z. Culver House has been well maintained and carefully restored and is an elegant reminder of the building and ranching boom of the era.
