[2] In 1874, Pucipher purchased the original farm, and in 1883 he built this house for $2000. [3] A summer kitchen addition was constructed in 1895. It was continuously inhabited until 1964, when John's niece Jessie died. [4] It stayed empty until 1999, when Nels Veliquette, a local cherry farmer, purchased the house and surrounding property and began restoration. A modern kitchen addition was constructed, and the house was opened as the Country Hermitage Bed & Breakfast.
The John Pulcipher House is an unusually large and fine two-story Stick/ Eastlake house. [3] It has a hipped and cross-gable roof. It boasts elaborate millwork detail.
