The Mrs. J. V. Murphy House at 204 E. Santa Rosa in Victoria, Texas was built in 1899-1900. It was designed by architect Jules Leffland. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1]

It is a large ​2 1⁄2-story house with Queen Anne elements. It has a stair turret and a wrap-around porch. A tower top was never rebuilt after it was destroyed by a storm in the early 1900s.[2]

It was listed on the NRHP as part of a study which listed numerous historic resources in the Victoria area, including other "complex and inventive Queen Anne dwellings" created by Leffland and other architects in the 1890s.[3]
