As one of the best-preserved examples of Queen Anne architecture in the Northwest, the Flavel House survives today as a landmark of local and national significance. The house was built in 1884-85 for Captain George Flavel and his family. The Captain, who made his fortune from his occupation as a Columbia River bar pilot and through real estate investments, had the Flavel House built as his retirement home at the age of sixty-two. The Flavel House has been restored to accurately portray the Victorian period’s elegance and the history of the Flavel family.

In The Goonies, Mikey's dad works as an assistant curator at the Flavel House Museum, where he is seen lowering the flag as the Goonies ride by on their bikes. His role at the museum plays a subtle yet significant part in the film, as it connects the boys to the town's history and the adventure that unfolds.
