The Walter Curtis House is a historic residence in far southern Washington County, Ohio, United States. Located south of Little Hocking,〔 a community in southern Belpre Township,〔DeLorme. ''Ohio Atlas & Gazetteer''. 7th ed. Yarmouth: DeLorme, 2004, 81. ISBN 0-89933-281-1.〕 the house is a two-story structure constructed in 1827.〔Owen, Lorrie K., ed. ''Dictionary of Ohio Historic Places''. Vol. 2. St. Clair Shores: Somerset, 1999, 1390.〕 Built of brick with elements of stone,〔(Curtis, Walter, House ), Ohio Historical Society, 2007.

During the nineteenth century, Curtis held such offices as Washington County Commissioner, associate judge, and Ohio state representative; his son Austin was later also elected to the Ohio House of Representatives.〔
==Earlier history==
Born in 1787,〔 Walter and his family moved to Ohio in 1791 from Warren, Connecticut. After the family lived in Marietta for a time, the end of the Northwest Indian War prompted them to establish a farm southwest of Marietta in 1795. On this land,〔Dickinson, Cornelius Evarts, and Samuel Prescott Hildreth. ''(A History of Belpre, Washington County, Ohio )''. Parkersburg: Globe, 1920.〕 which he had purchased from land speculators in the previous year,〔 Walter's father Ebenezer constructed a substantial two-story log house, which was seen as superior to all other houses in the surrounding area at the time of its completion. Walter acquired the entire farm after his father's death, buying the property that had been left to the other heirs and purchasing adjacent land from other owners.〔 Here, he constructed the present Greek Revival house from bricks laid in common bond with a gabled roof. As the years passed, Curtis established himself in local society, both as a legislator and as a leading participant in the commerce of the nearby Ohio River.〔 Along with his brother Horace, he operated a business that transported freight by keelboat between river ports such as Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Charleston, Virginia, and Cincinnati, Ohio.〔
