Charles E. Nelson House, Victorian house in Dufur, United States

The Charles E. Nelson House was a late-19th-century Queen Anne Victorian house in Dufur, Oregon. It was one of the most widely photographed houses in the state. The building was destroyed by the Substation Fire in mid-2018.

The house was built in the late 1800s as a farmstead residence in the Dufur region. It remained a recognizable landmark until its loss in the Substation Fire in mid-2018.

The house was one of the most widely photographed houses in Oregon, drawing photographers and admirers of Queen Anne Victorian design. Its loss in the 2018 Substation Fire made those photographs the main record of the building. Drone aerial footage of the house also circulates online.

The property sat among wheat fields in a rural setting with two black locust trees marking its location on the landscape. Visitors should be aware the building itself no longer exists, though the history of the site remains accessible through documentation.

The house was among the most photographed in Oregon, which is why images of it survive after the Substation Fire destroyed the building in mid-2018. Drone footage and archival photographs document the Queen Anne Victorian as it stood in Dufur.
