Officers Row consists of 21 houses located in a long row facing the Fort Vancouver Parade Grounds. The small area, which includes Officers Row, the old Fort Vancouver, and the old Barracks Parade Grounds was once the hub of northwest history.
The houses were designed for either company or field grade officers. High ceilings, large foyers, long sweeping staircases, bay windows, numerous fireplaces, and many rooms are characteristics of most of the houses. The Grant House, built in 1846, is the oldest house and one of the foremost historical structures in the Old Oregon country.
