* [[Sebastopol House Historic Site]] is perhaps the finest surviving 19th-century concrete building west of the Mississippi. Here on the frontier, settlers began experimenting with concrete construction years before the Civil War, and built 100 or so structures of "lime-crete", as it was called. A team of slaves built this mansion, mixing local gravel, sand, lime, and some organic materials, then pouring the mix into wooden forms. When the concrete was solid, they raised the forms and repeated the process. A journalist declared Seguin "the Mother of Concrete Cities". Sebastopol House, a well-preserved architectural masterpiece, built in 1856 in [[Greek Revival]] style, is now a museum offering free tours.<ref>{{cite web| author=Seguin Convention and Visitors Bureau |url=http://www.visitseguin.com |title=Welcome to the Official Web Site of the Seguin Convention and Visitors Bureau &#124; Seguin CVB |publisher=Visitseguin.com |access-date=December 18, 2015}}</ref>
