The house has an asymmetrical plan and a two-story porch across its front. The original house was built for sea captain A. F. Higgs, entrepreneur of the Texas Continental Meat Co., possibly in the 1850s. Joe M. Pickering, a businessman and co-founder of the Anchor Lumber Co., bought the house in 1908.[2]

It was listed on the NRHP as part of a study which listed numerous historic resources in the Victoria area.[3]
