English: The Steamboat House at the Sam Houston Memorial Museum Complex in Huntsville, Texas, United States. It was rented by Sam and Margaret Houston after the Texas Secession Convention removed him as Governor of the State of Texas for refusing to swear a loyalty oath to the Confederacy. He died in this house in 1863. The State of Texas allocated money to repair and move the house to its current location at Sam Houston State University as part of the 1936 Texas Centennial commemoration. The house was designated a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1964. Marker text: " Built in 1858 by Dr. Rufus Bailey, 1858-62 president of Austin College, as a wedding gift for son. Unusual house caused such joking, however, the couple refused to live in it. In 1862, after Sam Houston left governorship of Texas, he rented Steamboat House, and here he died in 1863. His funeral was held in the upstairs parlor. In 1933 Houston businessman J. E. Josey bought house and gave it to state. Texas Centennial Commission restored building, moved it here 1936."
