Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

DCH Rothschild was a local businessman who owned Rothschild and Co. Mercantile, a marine-based business. He had the family home built in 1868, on a bluff overlooking Port Townsend Bay. Only the Rothschilds have occupied the house. His widow remained in the house until 1918 and their daughter occupied the house until her death in 1954. In 1962 it was donated to the public and is maintained by the Jefferson County Historical Society. It is intact and depicts life as it was in the late 1800s. It has remained largely unchanged for more than a century. Roses and herbs planted by the family still grow there.
