George W. Fulton Mansion

The George W. Fulton Mansion is one of the earliest Second Empire style buildings constructed in Texas and is one of the most important of the style in the Southwest United States still in existence. Colonel George Ware Fulton and Harriet Gillette Smith built the 3.5 story structure overlooking Aransas Bay between 1874 and 1877. The residence, dubbed "Oakhurst" by its builders, featured the most up-to-date conveniences for the time, such as indoor plumbing, central gas lighting and heating.

The mansion was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. The State of Texas purchased the mansion and 2.3 acres (0.93 ha) of land in 1976 and opened the site to the public in 1983 as the Fulton Mansion State Historic Site. On January 1, 2008, Fulton Mansion was transferred from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to the Texas Historical Commission and is now operated as the Fulton Mansion State Historic Site.
