714 Exchange Street
Astoria, OR , 97103-4620 Phone: (503) 325-2203 Website As one of the best preserved examples of Queen Anne architecture in the Northwest, the Flavel House survives today as a landmark of local and national significance. The house was built in 1884-85, for Captain George Flavel and his family. The Captain, who made his fortune through his occupation as a river bar pilot and through real estate investments, built the Flavel House as his retirement home at the age of 62. The Flavel House has been restored to accurately portray the elegance of the Victorian period and the history of the Flavel family. The history of the house is very interesting. If you have the time (30 min), it is worth the admission price to see the video and take the tour.
