The Pickering House, at 403 N. Glass in Victoria, Texas, was built c.1850s. In about 1911 it was remodelled to a Classical Revival design by architect Jules Leffland.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986 for its architecture. The listing included four contributing buildings.^[1]

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]
