Stayton in Victoria, Texas, set in a residential area of the original townsite's northeast quadrant. Dr. Daniel H. Braman had a San Antonio contractor oversee carpenters from the W. C. Barnes Lumber Yard in building the house in 1893, and Jules Leffland was possibly its designer. The Queen Anne dwelling has an asymmetrical plan, a hip roof with gables, weatherboard siding, two interior brick chimneys with corbeled caps, and a wrap-around porch with turned posts, jig-sawn brackets and turned balusters. A projecting squared window bay and an angled bay add to its varied form. The house was listed for its architecture. Both interior and exterior keep their original features in excellent condition, including turned and jig-sawn mill work and handsome interior woodwork.
