It was incorporated in 1871, and it got its name in 1870 from Col. E.G. Sebree, who helped bring the railroad. The town once had about 40 businesses, hotels, shops and stores, and its nickname is “Railroad country.” We deliver by booking.

Railroad-era houses

Sebree’s first church was built in 1870, and Methodist, Catholic and Baptist churches followed. Telephone service arrived in 1895. Houses from the years that followed are the ones that need work now. A Queen Anne-style home such as the McMullin-Warren House shows the ornate trim common to the period, and that trim makes renovation slower and the debris more varied. A 15-yard covers a kitchen and floors; a 20-yard covers a roof.

Downtown buildings

The bank building and its neighbors anchor the downtown. Owners clearing a storefront between tenants usually use a 15-yard placed behind the building. See the permit page for street placement.

Webster County context

Webster County was formed in 1860 from parts of Henderson, Hopkins and Union counties and named for Daniel Webster. It leaned toward the Confederacy during the Civil War and saw skirmishes and guerrilla fighting. The population peaked at 20,974 in 1910 and was 13,017 in 2020. Sebree and Providence voted to allow alcohol sales in 2018, and Clay followed in 2022. Sebree’s 2020 population of 1,574 had a median age of 35.6, and 38.9 percent of residents are Hispanic or Latino.

What the register lists

The McMullin-Warren House, at 301 West Main Street, was listed on the National Register in 1988. Sebree’s other well-known sites are the Deposit Bank building and Sebree Springs, which began as a summer resort. In a town whose buildings date from the 1890s and 1900s, the typical renovation is a gut job on the interior with the exterior restored. Interior debris includes plaster, wood flooring, old wiring and pieces of decorative trim.
