Victoria, Texas

Local rancher and postmaster Edward R. Fleming and his wife Lillian (Mueller) hired B. F. Williams to build this house about 1911. Charles and Wilhemina Grunder purchased the property in 1919, and sold it to Eliza Hughes Welder in 1936. Mrs. Welder made changes to the house, and its current colonial revival appearance reflects the period of her ownership. It is distinguished from most colonial revival buildings by its elongated dormers and horizontal lines.

This looks like an antebellum mansion to me. I feel like someone should be on the front porch drinking iced tea.

Won't count unless the tea is flavored with honey and mint.

Robert H. Welder House

The Buhlers sold this home in the 1930s to Robert H. Welder, fourth generation heir to the Welder Ranch begun by empressario and Irish immigrant James Powers. The Welders owned vast ranchlands stretching through Victoria, Calhoun, Refugio and San Patricio counties. Robert Welder married and divorced Helen Powers, a distant relative also descended from James Powers. With his second wife, Welder created the Rob and Bessie Welder Wildlife Foundation, which maintains 7,800 acres of Welder Ranchland as a wildlife refuge. This home is now the aptly-named Friendly Oaks Bed and Breakfast, with four themed rooms and a very friendly owner.

East Columbia, Texas
Ammon Underwood House

The oldest surviving building in the two Columbias is the house of merchant and cotton planter Ammon Underwood, who came to Velasco in Mexican Texas in 1834 from Boston. It originally faced the Brazos River (East Columbia's real main street), just downstream from what had been East Columbia's Front Street commercial district. In 1838 Underwood bought what was a three-year-old, two-room frame house in partnership with widow Catherine Carson. He and Carson expanded it to its present appearance: a two-story, central-hall-plan house with a two-story front veranda incorporated beneath the side-gabled roof. The portion of the house to the left of the front door is the oldest part. In the 1860s, again around 1900, and in 1937 the house was moved on its lot as the eroding riverbank threatened to undermine it. During the c. 1900 moving, the house was rotated to face Main Street. The Underwood House was rehabilitated in 1975 by the First Capitol Historical Foundation for use as a historic house museum.

To the south of the Underwood House, also facing Main Street, is a side-gabled, single-pen log cabin with V-notched corner joints and an attached shed-roofed porch. The cabin is dated to about 1850 and was moved to this site by the First Capitol Historical Foundation from the John Sweeny Plantation in western Brazoria County. It was one of the slave houses on Sweeny's plantation. After the Civil War, it was home to Mark and Larkin Waddy, formerly enslaved people whose descendants occupied it as a tenant farm cottage until 1953.

Charles L. Hewitt House
Built and Rebuilt: 1854, 1875, 1909

The Hewitt House is one-third of a structure built south of Market Square by a German social club, the Teutonia Verein, as its clubhouse, Casino Hall. In 1875 the building was dismantled and reconstructed on S. Bridge Street by another German social club. In 1909 it was divided in three and moved again, this portion being the only survivor. The building's exterior appearance is so conservative that it could be mistaken for a house of the 1850s were it not for its immense scale, best appreciated from the side, gable-ended elevation.

Robert H. and Pauline Clark House
Victoria, Texas

Pennsylvania native Robert Clark (1818-1910) moved to Mississippi as a young man. A veteran of the Mexican War, in which he was severely wounded, he later moved to Brownsville and entered into a successful partnership with Charles Stillman. The two men eventually opened a cannery in Indianola (40 mi. SE). In 1870, Clark wed Pauline Shirkey Crocker (1846-1940). After a hurricane hit Indianola in 1875, he moved his family to Victoria, where he continued to prosper as a cattle buyer and seller. In 1877, he built this frame Greek Revival house with central portico and boxed columns. Robert and Pauline Clark, remembered for civic contributions, are buried in Evergreen Cemetery
