DeLeon in Victoria, Texas, built about 1885, with later rear additions. It sits at the eastern edge of the central business district and has been moved from its original site.","why_significant":"The nomination finds it significant for architecture as a late nineteenth century residence from the transitional period between Greek Revival and Victorian styles, combining elements of both. The reviewer recommended acceptance under Criterion C.","narrative":"Built around 1885, this two-story wood frame house at 101 N. DeLeon in Victoria, Texas, follows an I-house plan with a truncated hip roof and rear additions. A five-bay, two-story porch with jig-sawn brackets, a balustrade and slender square posts runs across the east front. Two interior brick chimneys flank the center passage, the windows are four-over-four wooden sash with operable shutters, and a three-sided bay window projects on the south side. Pedimented window and door surrounds blend Greek Revival motifs with simple Victorian details. The house was listed for its architecture, as an example of the transitional period between Greek Revival and Victorian design in the late nineteenth century. Jeweler W. G. Mohris and his wife owned it from the late 1800s until 1922, followed by the Abshier family for about ten years and then the G. H. Taggart family in the early 1930s. It has been moved from its original site, now stands at the edge of downtown, and is used commercially.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Transitional Greek Revival and Victorian; I-house plan","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Present condition is described as good; the original residential use has changed to commercial.
