This beautiful old mansion in Astoria, Oregon was the venue for our afternoon Tea, an excursion included in our Regent cruise to Alaska. It's a beautiful house with so much detail and interesting history. I've included a link below with a short history of the house and its occupants.

The table setting was impressive and inviting. Mertz and I ended up conversing with a lovely couple, Nicole and D.J. We loved the tea and the various scones and shortbread cookies which were the best.
If you ever are on a cruise and dock in Astoria, the Flavel House should not be missed.
You really captured this grand old Victorian home and its restoration with your photos, Candy. And I agree if anyone has the opportunity to tour it or enjoy tea there, they shouldn't miss it.
