Marion Reed Elliott House

The Marion Reed Elliott House is a historic house in Prineville, Oregon, United States. Built in 1908, it is the largest and best-preserved Queen Anne style house in Prineville. It is also significant as one of a handful of surviving structures that were built by prominent local contractor Jack Shipp (1858–1942).[lower-alpha 1] Marion Elliott (1859–1934), an educator and successful attorney, lived in the house from its construction until his death. Both men's careers benefited from the economic boom that occurred in Prineville in the first decades after railroads began reaching Central Oregon around 1900,[lower-alpha 2] the period when the Elliott House was built.[1]
