We are very excited to start out the new year by sharing our new Explore Victorian Port Townsend Map!

The roots of this project go deep into the ongoing research we do about The Albert C Adams house. During that work we always uncover so many fascinating bits of history, and observe the intricate web of connections between the families, houses and properties. And then there’s the perpetual curiosity that comes with walking around town, seeing all of the homes and wondering, “what’s the story here?”

Every map we’ve encountered has limited itself to the most prominent 50 - 60 historical sites. They’ve also been bound by the limitations of a printed paper map designed for an analog age. We felt it was time to move Victorian Port Townsend into the digital age. So we created a virtual map to resurface those forgotten stories and neglected history. The Adams Pragge House’s own Joseph Lavy painstakingly identified and verified more than 300 locations and reviewed all available records to create the most comprehensive map possible. And now we want to share it with you: The Explore Victorian Port Townsend Map!

This house must have a green thumb of its own—plants don’t just grow here, they thrive in the most surprising ways. Back in September, this snake plant did something we didn’t even know it could: it bloomed. A rare and beautiful moment, reminding us that even the unexpected can flourish in the right place.

CHARLES EDWARD C**N, owner of the Albert C Adams House from 1907 until his death, passed into memory on this day, Jan 8, 1920. Today, 105 years later, we honor his life and commitment to public service.
C**n was a Civil War veteran, fighting for the Union army at 2nd Bull Run and other important battles. After the war he began a career in the US Treasury Department working his way up to Assistant Secretary (and for a time Acting Sec). While at Treasury he was responsible for negotiating down millions of dollars in war debt owed to European governments.
A "confirmed old batchelor," he moved to WA in 1897 to be with family, including his sister Camilla, and his niece, Helen Pragge (husband Charles). He and Charles Pragge owned and operated The Port Townsend Mercantile Company out of the CC Bartlett Building.
He served as Mayor of Port Townsend for 4 terms, and Lt. Governor of WA for 1 term. He was also a founder and leader in many civic organizations like the Elks, the Chamber of Commerce, the GAR, and the PT Hustlers, an early booster group. C**n has slipped from PT civic memory, but deserves revitalization as many important improvements happened during his administrations, such as the first gravity water system which piped in water from the Olympic mountain range, the building of the Carnegie Library, and the establishment of Chetzemoka Park. Just to name a few.
At the time of his death he was serving a term as representative in the State of WA house.
He died peacefully at home after suffering a stroke in the days before. He was 77 years old and beloved in town; known by many as Uncle Charlie.

Mornings at the Adams Pragge House are a quiet indulgence—a time to savor simple pleasures that feel anything but ordinary, inviting you to slow down and embrace life’s quieter rhythms.

Sunlight pours through our stained glass windows, painting soft, colorful patterns across tables adorned with seasonal touches. Breakfast is a cherished tradition, offered as a three-course, artisanal experience with a European flair. Beginning at 8:00 a.m., guests are treated to a thoughtfully curated menu that changes daily, paired with our locally roasted signature APH blend coffee, ensuring a perfect start to the day.

The florals featured today are a celebration of Seablush Floral’s delightful work from last year, where lush greenery, winter blooms, and accents of pinecones and berries graced our spaces with an abundance of seasonal beauty!

The holidays linger a little longer here, as the soft glow of garlands and wreaths welcome another quiet winter’s day. This is a place where time slows down—where each season unfolds at its own pace, and every detail has a moment to shine.

In a world that rushes forward, we embrace the charm of savoring the present, letting the warmth of the season settle in before we turn the page to what’s next.

A Victorian retreat like no other, inviting you to pause, reflect, and revel in the beauty of the here and now.

Take a look at this charming 2002 collectible wooden cutout by Sheila’s Houses! Painted in a rich palette of greens, purples, and reds, the homeowners in 1988 selected these colors as part of an effort to restore the house’s historic character. While there’s no certainty that the hues perfectly match the original scheme, this vibrant look remained a hallmark of the house for 14 years before transitioning to its current, equally beloved colors. The cutout offers a nostalgic glimpse into a unique chapter of this home’s long and storied history!
