Placed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Gamwell House was designed as a two-story Queen Anne Style house, with a wraparound front porch and observation tower. According to the City of Bellingham's historic inventory: "A native of Boston, Gamwell was primarily responsible for getting Boston architects Longstaff and Black to Fairhaven in 1890; they were commissioned to design and construct his home, one of the most elegant homes on Bellingham Bay. Gamwell was very meticulous about the construction of his home, using only the finest materials. The intricate interior took the builders nearly two years to finish. A variety of hardwoods were used to panel the home's nine spacious rooms and the plumbing, gas, heating, and electric facilities were the most up to date technology."
