Continental Oil Company built the Continental DAR House as a hospitality house in Fair Park in 1936 for the Texas Centennial. It was graciously deeded to the Jane Douglas Chapter in 1937 at the conclusion of the Pan-American Exposition. Preservation of this historic building is of the utmost importance as the House welcomes over 44,000 guests during the State Fair of Texas.
A patriotic organization that strives to preserve our cultural heritage, Jane Douglas NSDAR manages the Continental DAR House at Fair Park. The Elizabeth Wright Library, housed in the Continental DAR House, contains more than two thousand catalogued genealogical reference books. Today, the Continental DAR House retains the integrity of its original design and is a reflection of the Exposition.
