Notes
  • Significance: The significance of the Crosby House lies in its association with an early and prominent Tumwater family and its interesting vernacular manifestation of the transition from Greek Revival to Gothic Revival architectural styles. Its builder, Nathaniel Crosby III, was the son of a merchant sea captain, Nathaniel Crosby Jr., who brought much of his family to Tumwater in 1850. He was a nephew of Clanrick Crosby, owner of a general store and grist, flour, and saw mills along Tumwater Falls on the Deschutes River. Built in 1854 for his new bride, Cordelia Jane Smith, the house is plank wall construction covered with clapboards. Its most distinguishing exterior features are the steeply pitched roof and ornamental bargeboards.
