I found one example that illustrates what I am trying to achieve quite
well.
http://worldwidepanorama.org/worldwidepanorama/wwp608/html/DonHofstee-4721.html

As you navigate around that photo, you can clearly see distortion. the
farther from the center, the more it is stretched. That makes sense
and I think is what you were getting at James. Yet in spite of this,
all the bars, and boards and edges stay as straight lines. This is in
contrast to my image where the roof of the building is markedly
curved.

That's because the application used for interactive viewing of the panorama remaps the currently visible section of the full panorama into rectilinear projection. If you could see the full image from which the view is generated it would have curving lines.

Could you guys clarify for me what is causing the curving?

Forcing a 360 degree image to a flat plane. You can't help that.


What could I do differently without adding seams to my image?

Calibrate your pano head and use the exposure correction in Hugin.
