Wheeler in Victoria, Texas, this two-story wood-frame house reflects the Neoclassical Revival style in a simplified local form. Praeger & Hull designed it and Bailey Mills built it. The house has an asymmetrical, modified L-plan, a hip roof with box eaves and a hip dormer, and weatherboard and wood shingle siding. A two-story wrap-around porch carries Ionic columns on the first level, grouped columns at the entry bays, and wood posts on box pedestals above. The primary entrance has a single door with a tripartite transom and leaded glass sidelights with an oval light. Windows are wood sash, double-hung, with one-over-one lights. The house was listed for its architectural character. Although the second level of the porch has been altered, few other changes have affected its integrity. It remains in good condition and is still used as a residence in a residential area of the original town site.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Praeger & Hull (architects); Bailey Mills (contractor)","architectural_style":"Neoclassical Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition is described as good; the house is still used as a residence.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:21.216079-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/16/9704/40970416/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/86002539.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86002539/53b98d191d-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86002539/53b98d191d-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"ProfReader","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:201_N_Wheeler_Street.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">ProfReader</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:201_N_Wheeler_Street.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40970416","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E._J._Jecker_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5321949"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/victoria-county/jecker-e-j-house-86002539/"}
