A native of Victoria County, Venable Bland Proctor (1862-1936) joined his father's law firm in nearby DeWitt County in 1887. Proctor moved to Victoria in 1898 and purchased this piece of property in 1900. He soon had this Colonial Revival style home built for his wife Fannie Elizabeth (White), and their children. A landmark in Victoria, the Proctor House features two-story Classical porches with Doric columns and second floor balconies.
