The Theodore Buhler House is a historic house in Victoria, Texas. It was built in 1890 for Theodore Buhler and his wife, Katherine Schmidt.[2][3] Born in Baden, Germany, he emigrated to the United States at a young age and grew up in New Orleans, Louisiana.[3] During the American Civil War, he worked for Cook's foundry in New Orleans, which made firearms for the Confederate States Army.[3] In the postbellum era, he worked for the railroads and steamships in Louisiana and Texas, and he co-founded the First National Bank of Victoria, the Victoria Loan Company, and the Victoria Building and Loan Company.[3] He died in 1912.[3]

The house was designed by Danish-born architect Jules Leffland in the Queen Anne architectural style.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since December 9, 1986.[1]
