Townsend-Wilkins House

The Townsend-Wilkins House is a historic residence in Victoria, Texas. It was home to physician G. R. Townsend, a physician. He lived and worked in Texas, where he was prominent in the Black community, before moving to Los Angeles, California. The home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is at 106 North Navarro and was listed in 1986.

The home is a two-story L-shaped folk Victorian built in the 1880s. Townsend established an office at 108 West Santa Rosa in the late 1880s.

Townsend moved to Los Angeles in 1904 and was succeeded in ownership of the house and medical practice by Dr. John H. Wilkens, one of the founders of the Lone Star Medical Association. His son George Wilkens eventually took over the practice.

In 1986 the property was owned by real estate agent Lee Swearingen. It is one of many historic homes in Victoria.
