Main in Victoria, Texas, this two-story wood-frame house was constructed for Robert Clark, a prominent rancher. It is described as the best surviving example of Greek Revival architecture in the city. The five-bay symmetrical east elevation centers on a prominent two-story gabled portico with paired square columns with molded caps. The main entrance has a transom and sidelights, and the windows are wood sash with six-over-six lights, operable shutters and pedimented moldings. A rear ell connects to an addition, forming a U-plan, and a wing on the south shows how mid-to-late nineteenth-century households functioned. Interior moldings and finishes remain largely intact. The house stands in a mixed residential and commercial area north of the central business district and is still used as a residence. It was recognized for its architecture and for its connection with Clark, a leading figure in the local cattle industry.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival","criteria":["B","C"],"status_note":"Present condition is listed as good; the house remains in residential use, with interior moldings and finishes described as amazingly intact.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:21.664649-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/19/9705/40970519/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/86002615.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86002615/eac11b95a0-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86002615/eac11b95a0-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"ProfReader","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Robert_Clark_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:Robert_Clark_House.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40970519","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q107318335"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/victoria-county/clark-robert-house-86002615/"}
