Little House was a historic Victorian residence in Victoria, Texas, built in early 1896 following the death of John Little the previous year. Designed as a modified version of George F. Barber's model #33 from *Cottage Souvenir #2*, the 2,880-square-foot home featured characteristic Victorian elements including asymmetrical massing and a distinctive octagonal turret on its second floor. The interior showcased an elegant foyer staircase, a study with fireplace, dining room with bay window, and a round picture window in the main bedroom overlooking Victoria Street. The home passed through several families—remaining with the Little family (Henrietta and her daughters Sarah, Margaret, and Caroline) until 1953, then owned successively by the Goltzman and Phillips families. Though moderately renovated over its 125-year history with an enclosed porch and slate roof additions, the house was recognized as an exceptional local example of Victorian-era architecture and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986 before its demolition in 2022.
