William Charles Stephenson, Jr.

My grandfather William Charles "Bill" Stephenson, Jr. was a noted Architect in Beeville, Texas. In addition to designing the Beeville Courthouse, he designed and, in the early part of his career, built most of the grand homes in Beeville and surrounding counties and communities. He also designed nearly all the surrounding area's schools, including Charco, Pettus, Skidmore, and many others. He shaped the "look" of Beeville when Beeville was growing rapidly in the 1920's and 1930's. He continued to work until he had a stroke while visiting one of his daughters, Frances, in the summer of 1952. He died at his home in May of 1957.
