This is a truly beautiful home, one of the wonderful features is a graceful arch, complete with plaster grape clusters. The woodwork is made of pine but looks like oak, this is done by painting on the woodgrain by hand , which is called “stippling”.

This house is not noticed for its grandness, it is one of the first homes built in Port Townsend,it remained with the same family till 1957, after that it was donated to Washington State park. It has a special sewing room, with a 1860 Florence sewing machine, which is very rare.
