History

The Pickering House at 403 N. Glass in Victoria was originally built in the 1850s for sea captain A. F. Higgs, an entrepreneur of the Texas Continental Meat Co. Businessman Joe M. Pickering, co-founder of the Anchor Lumber Co., bought the house in 1908, and around 1911 architect Jules Leffland remodeled it into its present Classical Revival form. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.
