The Walter Curtis House is a historic residence in far southern Washington County, Ohio, United States.
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.
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.

[5]: 81 His family members changed their home very little; during the late twentieth century, architectural historians recognized it as one of southeastern Ohio's best examples of an early Greek Revival farmhouse.
