Ulysses S. Grant House
1850
During Lt. Grant's stay at Vancouver, Col. Benjamin Louis Eulalic de Bonneville was in command. Bonneville was a famous explorer, immortalized in Washington Irving's tales. Grant served as Quartermaster and did not live in this house. In 1879 Grant returned as the victorious general of the Civil War and retired President of the United States. It was during this visit that appreciative citizens named the house, then an officers club, for him.
