Visitors to the historic town of
Port Gamble are inundated with historical elements throughout the township. Almost every building in this town contains a historical marker that highlights the history of prior occupants. Each marker stands out nicely on painted burgundy boards and gold lettering. This historic former residence contains a marker on the front fence that reads:
1863
New York House
The house was built by the company in order to attract and retain
the resident physicians who lived there over a long period of time.
It likely served both as hospital and home to the town's resident
physician until sometime prior to 1929, when the hospital was
situated closer to the mill. |
I could find no other pertinent information regarding the history and background of this former residence and hospital. It is currently home to Tango Zulu Imports, an artisan shop.
I DID manage to locate a PDF document of a walking tour of Port Gamble.
This former residence, along with the majority of residences and businesses in Port Gamble, is owned by Pope Resources and maintained by Olympic Property Group and many homes and buildings are available for rent/lease throughout the year.
