It was originally the home of real-estate speculator Saunders.
This large and impressive home has a colorful history and many unique features. It retains its Victorian charm despite having several owners over the years with differing ideas of renovation and decorating. Commanding a hillside lot overlooking the waterfront, the home has a wrap-around porch. A third story was used at various times for dancing, showing movies, and a girls' dormitory. An unusual feature of the home is the dining room fireplace, which has a window in the middle of the chimney.
The home has been beautifully restored. It has 7 bedrooms & 6 bathrooms on 1.4 acres with an amazing view of Port Townsend and the bay.
The sign out side said J.C. Saunders House 1892, Registered National Historical Place.
