Captain George Flavel House Museum
Flavel House
A Queen Anne–style mansion from the 1880s, built for a river bar pilot, with its interiors kept in the Victorian style.
The Flavel House was built in 1885 for George Flavel, one of the first pilots on the Columbia River bar, who grew wealthy through piloting and shipping. The mansion is in Queen Anne style, with an octagonal tower that overlooks the river mouth. Its interiors are arranged as they were in the Victorian era, with fine fireplaces and woodcarvings. It is run by the Clatsop County Historical Society, and admission is just over $10. A combined ticket with the neighboring Oregon Film Museum is better value.
