Craig in Victoria, Texas, this two-and-a-half-story wood-frame house follows a Georgian plan. Hull & Praeger are named as architects and B. F. Williams as the local contractor. The house has beveled siding, a gable roof with shallow curved eyebrow dormers, box eaves with end returns, and two stuccoed exterior chimneys on the north and south ends. The east facade has three bays, a centered entry in a projecting bay with a three-sided bay window above, and a small eyebrow-roofed porch. A sun porch sits on the south side. A shed and a two-story garage apartment stand at the rear. Stockman Edward R. Fleming and his wife Lillian had it built; Fleming was Victoria's postmaster from 1913 until 1922. Later owners included cotton compress operator Charles Grunder and Eliza Welder, widow of John J. Welder, who lived there until 1948.
