Port Townsend’s uptown residential district demonstrates much of the Victorian sensibility of the commercial district it overlooks.  The Fowler House, however, predates much of the late nineteenth century construction and stands as a rare example of Civil War era building.  Greek Revival in style, the circa 1858 residence was home to Captain Enoch S. Fowler who constructed his house in a manner familiar to him as a native of Maine.

The house fell into disrepair in the 2000s, prompting the listing as a Most Endangered Place. Finally, in 2020 the house was rescued, moderinzed, and put on the market.
