John Roffler House, historic house in Washington, United States
The John Roffler House is a two-story wooden structure built around 1906 in Camas with an L-shaped footprint, a covered porch, and a distinctive tower with three windows topped by a cone-shaped roof. The home features large windows with columned frames, a prominent brick chimney rising above the roofline, dormer windows, and decorative stone blocks that showcase Roffler's construction skill.
The house was built in 1906 by John Roffler, a carpenter and builder who gained valuable experience as a young man working on the Pittock-Leadbetter House in 1902. The building was added to the Clark County Heritage Register in 1990 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.
The house displays the Queen Anne style that was popular in the area and reflects the craftsmanship traditions of the early 1900s. Neighbors and visitors can still notice today the carefully designed details like the columns and turret that tell the story of Roffler's building skill.
The house stands at the corner of Northeast Everett Street and is visible from the outside, although it is not open for public visits. You can admire the architecture and details from the street, particularly the tower and window design.
The house was John Roffler's first home and marks the beginning of his career as a builder who later designed and built more than 200 houses across Washington. His tower and stone block details became his trademark in shaping Camas' townscape.
