Bridge in Victoria, this one-story wood-frame bungalow sits in a residential area north of the city's original townsite. It has weatherboard and wood shingle siding, a gable roof with exposed rafters, an interior stuccoed chimney with a geometric cap, and wood double-hung windows with six-over-one lights. An L-shaped gabled porch wraps the east and south sides, supported by paired box columns on tapered stucco piers and trimmed with timber railings and false beams. Shingled gable ends and projecting window bays add to its crafted look. The house was built for H.A. Lawrence, who served as Victoria County Tax Assessor. It was recognized chiefly for its architecture, as an excellent local example of the bungalow form, with generous porches under low-pitched roofs and careful detailing. It remains in residential use and is in good condition, on its original site.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Bungalow","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Present condition is described as good; present use is residential.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:21.264684-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/94/9703/40970394/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/86002588.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86002588/aea4ae8610-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86002588/aea4ae8610-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"ProfReader","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lawrence_House_(Victoria,_Texas).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:Lawrence_House_(Victoria,_Texas).JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40970394","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110002445"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/victoria-county/lawrence-house-86002588/"}
