William Culbertson House
The William Culbertson House is a historic residence in the village of Mechanicsburg, Ohio, United States. Constructed in the final quarter of the nineteenth century, it was once the home of one of the village's premier businessmen, and it has been named a historic site.
==History==
Born in New York in 1833, William Culbertson was raised in Warren, Ohio, where he learned the trade of a carriagemaker. Upon moving to Mechanicsburg in 1853, he worked as a journeyman for three years before beginning his own carriage manufacturing business in 1856 with Cyrus Barr. Their partnership was highly successful; by 1880, Culbertson and Barr had developed a reputation as one of the region's premier manufacturers of carriages, buggies, and spring wagons, as well as operating a livery from 1860 to 1874 and remaining a well-reputed repair center.〔''The History of Champaign County, Ohio''. Chicago: Beers, 1881.〕 One year later, Culbertson had his residence built, fifteen years after Barr had arranged for the construction of his house.〔 Culbertson himself was active in local society; he was a member of the Mechanicsburg Methodist Protestant Church and the Odd Fellows, and was the Prohibitionist candidate in numerous local elections.〔 The firm remained in business into the twentieth century, weathering the transition to mechanization by becoming a dealer for Ford, Hudson, and Jeffery cars,〔Ware, Joseph. ''History of Mechanicsburg, Ohio''. Columbus: Heer, 1917, 59.〕 but the business burned in a catastrophic 1936 fire that was so large that it damaged the tower of the adjacent Second Baptist Church.〔(Marker #19-11 Second Baptist Church ), Ohio Historical Society, 2005. Accessed 2013-02-28.〕 As a result, the Culbertson and Barr residences are the sole remaining buildings associated with the firm.〔Recchie, Nancy.
