The Gamwell House
1892
Fairhaven's South Hill was home to many of Bellingham's wealthiest citizens at the turn of the century. This victorian beauty was designed by Longstaff and Black for Roland G. Gamwell and his new bride. The Gamwell family lived in the house until 1956.
What a lot of family history in one home! That's amazing to me...the Air Force brat. I love it! Hauntingly beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIs it still a residence? It looks as if it should be a museum.
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome house!
ReplyDeleteI like this house very much. This post has just reminded me of a little enclave within Sydney, with its own suburb name, not far from me, that I need to return to to document.
ReplyDeleteThis was my grandfathers (Gardner Gamwell) uncle's house. My mom met Roland when she was three, but only remembers getting locked in the bathroom.
