Townsend-Wilkins House

The Townsend-Wilkins House is a historic residence in Victoria, Texas, notable for its connection to physician G. R. Townsend, a prominent figure in the Black community who practiced medicine in the late 19th century. Built in the 1880s, this two-story, L-shaped folk Victorian home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1986. After Townsend's relocation to Los Angeles in 1904, Dr. John H. Wilkins, a founder of the Lone Star Medical Association, took ownership. The house is part of a collection of historic residences in Victoria, making it an interesting site for tourists and researchers interested in African-American history and architecture.
