The Pompeiian Villa is a historic house in Port Arthur, Texas, U.S.. It was built in 1900 for Isaac Ellwood, and designed by architects George C. Nimmons and William K. Fellows.[1] It belonged to James Hopkins, the vice president of the Diamond Match Company,[2] from 1901 to 1903, when it was sold to George Craig for 10% of Texaco.[1] [2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since May 23, 1973.[3]

The house is owned by the Port Arthur Historical Society, and is open for tours by reservation with the Museum of the Gulf Coast.
