Sam Brown House, Neoclassical house in Gervais, United States.

Sam Brown House is a two-story neoclassical house near Gervais, Oregon, on the French Prairie on the former Peter Depot land claim. It was built in 1857 for Samuel Brown, an Oregon pioneer and state senator, and is believed to be the first house in Oregon designed by an architect. It served as a stage stop and housed three generations of the Brown family.

Samuel Brown, born in 1821, dug 62 pounds of gold in California before moving with his wife to Oregon, where the couple filed a Donation Land Claim on the Peter Depot land claim and acquired more than 1,000 acres. He built the house in 1857 and served as a state senator; his son Sam H. Brown also served as a state senator and ran unsuccessfully for governor in 1934 and 1938. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.

The house was a stage stop on the route through French Prairie, and three generations of the Brown family lived there. Samuel Brown's son, Sam H. Brown, was a state senator who ran unsuccessfully for governor in 1934 and 1938. The family name is tied to the nearby city of Gervais, founded on land they settled.

The house stands on the French Prairie near Gervais, on the Peter Depot land claim, not along Portland Road. It is private property with no interior access; view it from the public road. The nearest town is Gervais, in Marion County.

The house appeared in the August 1986 issue of National Geographic Magazine, which told how Samuel Brown dug 62 pounds of gold in California before moving to Oregon with his wife. The couple filed a Donation Land Claim and acquired more than 1,000 acres near what is now Gervais.
