It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.It was listed on the NRHP as part of a study which listed numerous historic resources in the Victoria area.It is one of the "highly embellished, but rigidly symmetrical, houses built in the 1870s" that demonstrate a change from "mid-century classicism" in architecture in the Victoria area.Like the Huck-Welder House, it is one of the homes and businesses that were moved after devastating storms hit the coastal community of Indianola, a port on the Matagorda Bay, in 1875 (the third storm in the 1875 hurricane season) and in 1886 (the devastating 1886 Indianola hurricane).: 36

Fossati's Delicatessen
Fossati's Delicatessen

Fossati's Delicatessen is the oldest deli in Texas and one of the oldest restaurants in the United States. Located in Victoria, Texas, Fossati's was opened in 1882 by Italian immigrant Fraschio ("Frank") Napoleon Fossati. Fossati's was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 20, 1991. After over 130 years, Fossati's is still owned and operated by the same family.Fossati had the current building constructed in 1895 and moved the deli from a nearby downtown location (actually, Fossati's had changed locations several times, and had, at one time or another, been on every corner of the square in downtown Victoria). The current building features double front doors with multi-light transoms.Over the years, Fossati's has handled imported foods, groceries, and feed and has served as an important gathering place for Victoria's citizens. In addition, many famous musicians have played at the deli, including country music legend Willie Nelson. The deli is often used for political functions as well. Most recently, Texas Governor Rick Perry held a campaign stop in Victoria on August 25, 2010.In the back room of the deli, known as the Frank Napoleon room, there is a giant bookcase filled with hundreds of cookbooks, many of which have been out of print for 50+ years. Also inside, there is a trench-like area just above the floor surrounding the bar. This is where men used to spit tobacco. Outside of the building there are still metal rings where men used to tie up their horses and come in for a drink.
