This two-story brick residence was constructed in 1898-99 for attorney Joe L. Hill. In 1905 it was sold to Mary V. O'Connor, widow of prominent Victoria rancher Dennis O'Connor. During her family's ownership, the house was occupied by George Howard, bookkeeper for the extensive oil, ranching and banking enterprises of the O'Connor family. A center of early social activity in the city, the house features detailing of the Victorian style. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1981 |
