Pickett House, Historic residence in Washington, United States

Pickett House is a two-story wooden residence at 910 Bancroft Street in Bellingham, Washington, built in 1856 with lumber from the Roeder-Peabody mill on Whatcom Creek. It is the oldest house in the city. A narrow staircase has replaced the original ladder to the upstairs bedrooms, and a kitchen was added to the lean-to section.

Captain George Pickett built the house in 1856 while overseeing construction of Fort Bellingham, using lumber from the Roeder-Peabody mill on Whatcom Creek. His son James Tilton Pickett was born there about a year later. After Pickett left in 1861 to serve in the Civil War, the house passed through several owners until Hattie Strothers bequeathed it to the Washington State Historical Society in 1936. It opened as a museum in 1941 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.

The house is now a museum run alongside the Daughters of Pioneers, who still occupy the site. Its name comes from Captain George Pickett, who built it in 1856 and later became a Confederate general. Visitors can see the lean-to kitchen added to the original two-storey frame.

The house stands at 910 Bancroft Street in Bellingham, on the site once called Peabody Hill in old Whatcom. It is run as a museum by the Daughters of Pioneers, who share the building, so confirm opening times with them before travelling. The two-storey interior is reached by a narrow staircase, and the kitchen occupies the lean-to section.

Captain George Pickett, who later led the Confederate charge at Gettysburg, had the house built of lumber from the Roeder-Peabody mill on Whatcom Creek. His son James Tilton Pickett was born here about a year after construction.
