A great asset to the community of Vancouver, WA. View the old, restored row of officer housing. A step back in time.

Officers' Row is lined with beautiful trees and homes that officers in the United States military have occupied over the past century. The streets are lined with historical plaques for your reading pleasure. Stop and take some photos, enjoy the sights and sounds, or even just take a nice stroll down the road. You'll be happy you did!

Officer's Row is a great historical site in Ft. Vancouver. The entire area is finely trimmed and landscaped, with amazingly restored buildings. Additionally, the Grant House fine dining restaurant, located in one of the homes, features great food and a pleasing wine menu, as well. In another room of this same 'house' is a most pleasant full bar featuring solo... More

This is a beautiful area that once housed military officers adjacent to Fort Vancouver. The houses, lawns, trees and flowers are all beautiful year round. We participate in a car show there every year in August. This will be the biggest year for us so far!

Officer's Row is about five blocks long. The houses were for the officers stationed at Fort Vancouver and have been kept in good repair. Many are now used as offices. Wide lawns, nice gardens and shady sidewalks make this a popular walk. Across the street is the Fort Vancouver Barracks and Parade Ground. The O O Howard House is nearby... More

Pretty little white houses all in a row. Does not say much to the area other than Officers lived here long ago~

We drove through this area - Fort Vancouver along Officers row - very scenic and not what I was expecting. Lovely old restored houses with tree lined streets like something out of a movie! We nearly went and had lunch at the Grant House but we kept driving down to the river. Maybe next time we'll stop by and try... More

While visiting the Fort Vancouver we strolled down Officers Row;. The trees and yards are impressive. Seeing the old restored homes is just enchanting. Lunch or dinner at the Grant House is a treat.
