The Bailey House was built by Jacob Gerkens around 1868-1869 and is the oldest building in the City of Whittier. The property was the home of Whittier's first settlers, Jonathan and Rebecca Bailey between 1887 and 1894. The first "Friends" meetings were held on the front porch of the house. The house was deeded to the City of Whittier in 1975 and is operated under the auspices of the Whittier Historical Society. The Bailey House is on the local Official Register of Historic Resources.

  • Hmmm . . . House was built around 1868-69, and the first residents (the Baileys) moved in in 1887. Was the house just vacant for the first 18-19 yrs after it was built?
