The Buckler–Henry House, also known as the Grace Peck House, is a historic house in Portland, Oregon, United States. It is one of Portland's few remaining examples of 19th-century brick residential construction. John Buckler built the house in 1891 for Charles K. Henry, a real estate developer who platted the neighborhood in 1890, and subsequently purchased it. Prominent later residents included steamboat captain Jules Olivier and his daughter Grace Olivier Peck, who served in the Oregon House of Representatives for 22 years between 1948 and 1977. In her public life, she focused on social welfare issues and received many accolades from colleagues, governors, and the public.[2][3]
