Pela House
Victoria, Texas Historic District
Conservatively Greek Revival in its distinct bays, its center passage, pedimented windows, and columns, the Pela House was erected in 1884. Then-modern Victorian elements such as unusual geometric railings on a two-tiered porch make this house a striking hybrid of two very different architectural styles. Silvain Pela, a French immigrant, and his wife Elizabeth (Meyer) Pela, a Swiss immigrant, raised ten children within these walls. The colorful Pela family and their descendants remained in the home for more than 100 years.

Historic Victoria, Texas
The Phillip-Sale House
New York native Alexander Hamilton Phillips (1804-1880) moved to Texas in 1837. He served in both the Congress of the Republic of Texas and the Legislature of the State of Texas. He moved his law practice to Victoria in the 1840s, and in 1851 hired local building contractor Richard Owens to build this house.
Constructed of bricks made by slaves and fired at Owen's brickyard on the Guadalupe River, the house became a center of social activity in Victoria. During his 1857 campaign for Governor, Sam Houston attended a ball and reception here and made a speech from the front porch.

W.H. Stark House
Completed in 1894, The W.H. Stark House is a perfectly restored 15-room mansion in Orange, Texas, that was inhabited by the W.H. Stark family from 1894-1936. The three-story wood frame structure is constructed of cypress and longleaf yellow pine, a unique choice for the Southeast Texas area. The Victorian home with its many gables, galleries and distinctive windowed turret shows the influences of several architectural styles, most notably the Queen Anne style. The Stark House remained closed from 1936 until 1971, at which time a 10-year interior and exterior restoration process was commenced. In 1981, the House was opened to the public for guided tours. Further renovation was required after minor damage caused by Hurricane Rita in 2005.
Today, the 14,000 square-foot Stark House appears much as it did in the 1920s.

Nueces County has an old (1914), pretty courthouse that they started restoring and then stopped. I lived in Corpus Christi for three years and never heard the same story twice about why the building was abandoned, why restoration started, or why it stopped.
