Ground Marker on Officers Row | Additional Description:
Ulysses S. Grant House 1850
During Lt. Grant's stay at Vancouver, Col Benjamin Louis Eulalie de Bonneville was in command. Bonneville was a famous explorer, immortalized in Washington Irving's tales. Grant served as Quartermaster and did not live in this house. In 1879 Grant returned as the victoriouse general of the Civil War and retired President of the United States. It was during this visit that appreciative citizens named the house, then an officer's club, for him.
