Officers Row in Vancouver
Officers Row
For over a century, the homes along the northern edge of Evergreen Boulevard in the Historic Reserve area served as residential housing for many of the soldiers, officers and families stationed at Vancouver Barracks.
By the time the City of Vancouver moved to rehabilitate Officers Row in the mid-1980s, the timeworn properties were described by one official as "21 white elephants nose to tail." Today, the stately tree-line boulevard is pointed to with pride as one of the city's signature assets.

George C. Marshall House
Built in 1886, this Queen Anne Victorian replaced the Grant House as home for the commanding officer of the Department of the Columbia. The Marshall House enjoyed wide popularity in the 1880s and '90s as the center for sophisticated social activities in local military and civic circles.
Ulysses S. Grant House
Ulysses S. Grant was stationed at Vancouver garrison in the 1850s as a quartermaster. He returned as a visitor to Vancouver Barracks in 1879 after serving two terms as President of the United States. The Grant House, constructed as the commanding officer's quarters, was the first house built on Officers' Row.
General O.O. Howard House
The Howard House was the last historic structure to be rehabilitated on Officers Row. Anchoring the stately, tree-lined boulevard's western end, the home is named for its first inhabitant, Gen. Oliver Otis Howard (1830-1909).
