Charles Stevens House

The Charles Stevens House, located in Astoria, Oregon, is a historic residence recognized for its architectural significance and rich history. Built in 1867 by Charles Stevens, a prominent local writer and bookstore owner, the house reflects the Italianate style and has undergone several modifications over the years. It served various roles, including a residence for clergy of the German Methodist Episcopal South Church and later as a home for notable residents like Dr. Robert J. Pilkington and restaurateur Samuel Gallagher. The house is notable for surviving the devastating fires of 1883 and 1922, and it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985, making it a significant site for both tourists and researchers interested in Oregon's historical architecture and community heritage.
