Used as Courthouse for 74 years (1893-1967), this handsome building replaced structure erected during third year of statehood--1849.
Plans for the massive building were prepared by J. R. Gordon, architect for many courthouses in Texas. Style is castellated Richardsonian Romanesque; clock tower shows excellent detailing.
One of Texas' oldest counties, Victoria was site of skirmishes in 1836 Texas War for Independence.
