He was born in Milford, Nebraska, the middle child of five of Jacob H. and Ada L. (Davison) Culver, who lived on a farm.In 1927 he oversaw the issuing of the following opinion which makes it explicitly clear what he meant: "The Los Angeles Realty Board recommends that Realtors should not sell property to other than Caucasian in territories occupied by them.After a disagreement with partners D.W. Griffith and Mack Sennett that led to his selling out, Ince bought property on 9336 Washington Blvd.Hal Roach, prevented from expanding his facilities by downtown Los Angeles's zoning, purchased the property on 8822 Washington Blvd.Thus Culver played a vital role in the development of all three of "The Heart of Screenland"'s major movies studios.
