The Culver House has stood on Prairie since 1888. It was the home of a local attorney, then was purchased by John H. Culver, a prominent businessman who lived there until his death. It was later turned into apartments, and after a fire in 1979, it was not once, but twice slated for demolition.
The Historic Decatur Foundation stepped in and saved this piece of local history and is working to revitalize this historic home which is located in the Historic District. It is the last Queen Ann-style home in Decatur with a turret.
