The Captain George Flavel House Museum (/flʌvɛl/)^[2] known also as Capt. George Flavel House and Carriage House^[3] or the Flavel Mansion,^[4]^[5] is now a house museum in Astoria, Oregon, United States. It was built in 1885 in the Queen Anne architectural style, by George Flavel, a Columbia River bar pilot who was one of the area's first millionaires.^[6]

History

The house was originally constructed in 1885 by George Flavel, a maritime pilot and entrepreneur who amassed a fortune in his business over the course of thirty years.^[7] The 11,600-square-foot (1,080 m²) house, which spans a whole city block, features Queen Anne architecture.^[7] After Flavel's death in 1893, his wife, Mary Christina, lived in the house with the couple's daughters, Nellie and Katie, until her death in 1922.^[8] Both Katie and Nelly also lived in the home until their deaths in 1910 and 1933, respectively.^[9]

The house and its carriage house were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.^[1] The house is owned and operated by the Clatsop County Historical Society.

In popular culture

The museum is well known to fans of the film The Goonies, which was filmed in Astoria. It is featured as the museum where Mikey's father works as a curator.^[10]
