The Flavel House was built in 1885 for Captain George Flavel, one of Astoria's first millionaires and a notable bar pilot and businessman.

The house is a prime example of Queen Anne architecture, featuring intricate woodwork, stained glass windows, and a distinctive octagonal tower.

Since 1951, the Flavel House has operated as a museum, offering visitors a glimpse into the Victorian era and the life of the Flavel family.

The Flavel House was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, recognizing its historical and architectural significance.

The property includes a beautifully maintained Victorian garden, which complements the historic ambiance of the house.
