THE WALKER-AMES HOUSE is a Queen Anne–style Victorian house on Washington state’s Kitsap Peninsula.
The Peninsula was named after Suquamish Native American chief Kitsap, and the area is known as Teekalet, or “brightness of the noonday sun.”
Nearby, Port Gamble was established for the lumber trade and named after Lieutenant Colonel John M. Gamble or Lieutenant Robert Gamble.
The lumber mill superintendent occupied the house, but records are unclear whether Walker was his first or last name. Walker retired and passed the house to his son-in-law, Edwin Ames, and the house was known as the Walker-Ames house.
The house has hidden spaces and false walls. Unusual activity was reported in the fifties, that included lights turning on or off, a nanny or child appearing in the upstairs window eve
