Built in 1885 in the Italianate style, the house was remodelled in Classical Revival style in the early 20th century. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986 as part of a study of historic resources in the Victoria area, and the listing included two contributing buildings.

The house shows how wealthy Texans in the late 1800s chose to design their homes and what architectural styles were favored in the region at that time. The details reflect a period when European design ideas had strong influence in Texas.

The house stands on S. Bridge Street in Victoria, Texas, and is a private residence, so visitors view it from the public street.

The owner Thomas M. O'Connor became one of the largest landowners in the region after the Civil War, controlling vast ranching territory. This wealth allowed him to build a house with European design standards, which was still rare in Texas at that time.
