T.S. Christian, possibly the same or possibly a different person, was a building contractor in Durham, North Carolina,[4] who built several houses in Queen Anne or similar styles, c.1890.

All four houses have been moved.[4] T.S. Christian served two-year terms starting in 1905, 1907, and 1915 in some Durham committee or legislative body.[5]
