Wheeler in Victoria, Texas, was constructed by contractor Clement Acree for Harry G. Woodhouse. It sits in a residential area in the northeast quadrant of the original townsite. The house follows the Neoclassical Revival style, with a hipped roof, a hipped dormer, wide overhanging box eaves and weatherboard siding. A two-bay, two-story porch with a hipped roof and a gabled pediment over the entry carries tapered box columns on the first level and Ionic columns on the second. The off-center entrance has a leaded, beveled glass transom and sidelights, and a two-story window bay with angled corners projects on the south side. A restoration finished in 1983 returned the house to good condition, and only minor cosmetic changes and sympathetic rear additions are noted. It was recognized as one of Victoria's premier early twentieth century dwellings with classical detailing, notable for its glasswork and porch. It was originally residential and is now used commercially.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Contractor Clement Acree (architect N/A)","architectural_style":"Neoclassical Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition good; minor cosmetic changes and sympathetic additions to the rear; restored 1983; present use commercial.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:21.269509-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/14/9704/40970414/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/86002481.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86002481/6c52c83239-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86002481/6c52c83239-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY 4.0","author":"Larry D.
