I would like to invite you to take a tour of the Chambers
House Museum located at 2240 Calder Avenue in Beaumont, Texas. The house is
open for tours Tuesday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. Saturday tour hours are from 10:00 a.m. until
2:00 p.m.
The house was built in 1906 by a local lumberman who sold
the house to the Chambers family in 1914. C. Homer and Edith Fuller Chambers
moved into the home with their two daughters, Ruth and Florence. The family
cherished this home for the rest of their lives. While the Chambers daughters
did go off to college, both returned home and never married. Few changes
occurred to the house or it’s furnishings in nearly 90 years of Chambers family
occupancy.
The collection inside the house contains nearly all of the
original family furniture and artifacts. Very little was thrown away and they
rarely purchased anything new. A truly unique tour awaits anyone wishing to see
how an upper middle class family lived life during the 1920’s through the
1940’s time period.
