点评:The Flavel House was one of the three museums included on our Clatsop County Historical Society pass, which was a great value. The beautiful, Victorian home, is the culminating comforts of Captain George Flavel's entrepreneurial pursuits. Gender stratification and racial hierarchy can be surmised when reading about the history behind the lifestyle of this family. The grit and ingenuity of previous generations is apparent. It is hard to fathom Mary Flavel was married at age 14, to a husband who was 29 years old. The home is wonderfully restored with authentic furnishings which are historical in and of themselves. The architecture and construction, such as the brick footings under the wrap-around porch, bespeak construction advances through time. The interior is a reminder of how labor intensive life was, even among the wealthy, as compared to the amenities we enjoy today. I observed that my husband would have to be extricated from the small tin bathtub, if he were to attempt a bath in a rare bathroom find, of the times, and he would have a hard time sitting on the low-to-the ground furniture. The self-guided tour placards provide background of "bar piloting" of the Columbia River and Pacific Ocean confluence. The power and treachery of the two opposing bodies of water, known as the "Pacific Graveyard," is a scaffold for the Heritage Museum and the Columbia River Maritime Museum exhibits. It was Flavel who established this life-saving service of bar piloting.
翻译:弗拉维尔故居是我们克拉特索普县历史协会通行证上的三个博物馆之一,非常超值。这座美丽的维多利亚式住宅是乔治·弗拉维尔船长创业生涯的终极慰藉。阅读这个家庭生活方式背后的历史时,可以推测出性别分层和种族等级。前几代人的勇气和智慧显而易见。很难想象玛丽·弗拉维尔 14 岁时就嫁给了 29 岁的丈夫。这座房子经过精心修复,配有真实的家具,本身就具有历史意义。建筑和施工,例如环绕式门廊下的砖基,表明建筑随着时间而进步。与我们今天享受的便利相比,室内装饰提醒我们,即使是富人的生活也需要大量劳动力。我注意到,如果我丈夫想在当时罕见的浴室中洗澡,他必须从小锡浴缸中解脱出来,而且他很难坐在低矮的家具上。自助游标牌提供了哥伦比亚河和太平洋交汇处“拦河索引航”的背景。被称为“太平洋墓地”的两大对立水域的力量和危险是遗产博物馆和哥伦比亚河海事博物馆展品的支架。正是弗拉维尔创立了这种救生拦河索引航服务。
