Glass in the original townsite of Victoria, Texas, this two-story wood frame house was designed by Jules Leffland for the family of Venable Bland Proctor. It reflects the Neoclassical Revival style in a restrained form. The symmetrical five-bay facade has a two-story flat-roofed porch with Doric columns and turned balusters on the upper level. Other details include a hip roof with a gabled ell and dormers, box eaves with crown molding, a frieze carved with festoons, and three interior brick chimneys with corbeled caps. Weatherboard siding covers the walls, and the windows are double-hung sash with operable shutters. A two-story frame carriage house with a hip roof and cupola remains on the property. Proctor was a principal in a prominent South Texas law firm, and the house was handed down to descendants who still own it and keep it in excellent order. Architecture and law are the two themes behind its recognition.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Jules Leffland","architectural_style":"Neoclassical Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Present condition is described as good; the residence is meticulously maintained and 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 02:54:21.686885-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/57/9705/40970557/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/86002544.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86002544/be43f251b6-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86002544/be43f251b6-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"ProfReader","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Proctor_House.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:Proctor_House.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40970557","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proctor_House_(Victoria,_Texas)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7247525"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/victoria-county/proctor-house-86002544/"}
