this home shows you that back when it was built what you could buy and the abundance of lumber that was in the area. if you like old homes it is a nice tour.

A beautiful home and carriage house to visit. The streets near Flavel House are closed due to sewer repair. I am not aware how long the repair will last and the streets are closed as of my visit May 15-16, 2013.

This area is full of history from Lewis & Clark to present. The Flavel House is a majestic house built in the late 1800,s it is worth the stop just to marvel at this historical architecture. From Japanese torpedos to sunken ships here history will even impress a 12 year old....

Very beuitiful old victorian home with beuitiful antique furniture as well! It was the first residence in Astoria to have running water inside!

What a wonderful sense of history and what a beautiful place! You can only imagine what it must have been like to live in what is a grand place today and must have seemed extraordinary when it was built! Go visit, take the tour, it's well worth it, especially if you love history!

Great, walking through historic home! Probably not too interesting for small children though with all the antiques and breakables.
