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.

Comment by the webmaster

Sarah Olsen and Linda Kracke, our two finest researchers have retired this year, 2011, and we would like to thank them for the wonderful work they have done to create starter Genealogy for the pioneers and their descendants of the Walla Walla Valley, Umatilla County, Oregon.

FORT WALLA WALLA MUSEUM 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.
