The Carnation houses in Carnation, Washington, were built at different times rather than all in one year. The strongest specific dates I found are 1891 for the old hotel building, 1907 for a farmhouse on Carnation Farms, 1912 for the Entwistle House, and 1923 for a set of Carnation Company “executive” homes.

What that means

  • If you mean the historic houses in the town itself, some date back to the 1890s.
  • If you mean the Carnation Farms historic homes, at least one major farmhouse was built in 1907.
  • If you mean the landmark Entwistle House, it was built in 1912.
  • If you mean the Carnation Company homes, one known group was built in 1923.

Best match

The most likely answer is that the “Carnation houses” were built across the late 1800s and early 1900s, depending on which house or neighborhood you mean.

TL;DR

Carnation’s historic houses were built in multiple waves, mainly from the 1890s through the 1920s.
