National Register of Historic Places - Dr. Trueblood House
Statement of Significant: The "Trueblood House" is inside and out very much as it appeared in the late 1800's There have been very few changes and those made were done in keeping with the character of the house. The house is an excellent example of the particular type of wood frame English Mill Town architecture that occurred in Kirkland due to the influence of Peter Kirk and his Great Western Iron and Steel Company, the major industry which necessitated creation of the town. This house and many others were built in 1889 specifically to house what was expected to be a flood of people coming to work at the mill. Dr. Barclay Trueblood's name became associated with the house after 1907 when he arrived from the Midwest to take up general practice as Kirkland's first resident physician.
