Discover a piece of Port Townsend's rich history with this charming G.R. Kuhn home, existing since the 1890. This home initially served as a rental home with notable tenants including lawyer Archie R. Coleman, Customs Collector J.R. Miller, and British Vice Consul Oscar Klocker. The house has been minimally altered and is a significant example of a working foursquare home. This property offers a unique connection to Port Townsend's boom period and early citizenry. Current owners purchased the home in the early 1960's. One full bathroom and one half truly unique commode closet. Wonderful Uptown location. Research by Bruce Freeland, 2009.
