Jesse H. Settlemier House

The Jesse H. Settlemier House is a residence built in Queen Anne Victorian-Craftsman style with twelve rooms situated on a one-acre property in Oregon's Willamette Valley. The structure displays features of both architectural styles through its decorative details and handcrafted elements visible inside and outside.

The house was constructed in 1892 for Jesse Settlemier, Woodburn's founder, and served as the center for his thriving nursery business. The residence emerged during a period of agricultural prosperity in the region and reflects the success of that era.

The house shows how successful business owners lived and furnished their homes during the late 1800s. Walking through the rooms reveals the tastes and daily life of local leaders from that era.

The house welcomes visitors by appointment and works well for tours and special occasions. The grounds are easy to access and the various rooms can be explored during guided visits.

The house gained recognition as the grandest mansion in Marion County during a time when such residences were uncommon in the area. The preserved original features and materials give visitors a rare glimpse into the building techniques and materials of that period.
