Pompeiian Villa
Museum, Tourist Attraction, Point of Interest1953 Lakeshore Dr, Port Arthur, TX 77640, USA
This building’s history is almost as fascinating as the villa itself. In 1900 this modest 10-room “cottage” was built for Isaac Ellwood, “the barbed wire King,” as an authentic copy of a Pompeiian home of 74 AD. Rooms are built around a traditional Roman peristyle, a three-sided courtyard to which each room has access.
