It is the only entire row of officer's preserved historic homes in the nation. Two buildings are open to the public:

Marshall House
1301 Officers Row. Built in 1886 and beautifully restored, the Marshall House is named for its famous former resident, General George C. Marshall, author of the post-war Marshall Plan. Open Mon. - Fri., 9 am - 5 pm, 11: am - 6 pm on selected weekends. (360) 693-3103.

In October 1998, the completely refurbished O.O. Howard House opened as a visitors center, featuring exhibits about the rich history of the Vancouver National Historic Reserve.

Built in 1879, the house on the west end of Officers Row is named for Gen. Oliver Otis Howard (1830-1909). Howard lived in the home when he served as commander of the U.S. Army's Department of the Columbia in Vancouver from 1874 to 1880. A Civil War veteran, Howard was the recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor. Howard University in Washington, D.C., is named in his honor.
