In 1892 William Samuel Frazier built this house which was later extensively remodeled after his death in 1896.  The house was lived in by members of the Frazier family from 1892-1983.  In 1913 it was moved 100 feet to allow for a through street and once again remodeled to modernize its' appearance.  The results of that renovation are visible in the house we see today.  It is adapted from a simple four-square plan with a pyramidal roof which features boxed-in rafters and wide overhanging eaves supported by decorative brackets in the Italianate style.  The front entry porch mimics a classic temple pediment supported on heavy tapered piers, a common feature of Craftsman style porches popular in 1913.  The site is listed on the National Register of Historic Sites.

www.fortwallawallamuseum.org

features a 17-building pioneer settlement and five spacious exhibit halls on 15 acres of parkland. The Museum’s mission, preserving and sharing Walla Walla regional heritage, is seen through a collection of more than 42,000 artifacts that tell the many stories of soldiers, pioneers, and Indian people involved in building a future. From the days of Lewis & Clark in Wallah Wallah country through the region’s participation in World War II, Fort Walla Walla Museum is the repository of “The Cradle of Northwest History.”

NOTE: “Wallah Wallah” is one of the spellings in the journals of Lewis & Clark naming one group of Indian people they encountered in what is now Walla Walla County.
