I’m another Maughlin descendent (my grandmother Frances was the sister of Barnard, both the children of Albert and Nora Maughlin) and we were delighted to be invited into Rebecca’s home a few years ago with our mother for a tour. Our mom was very small when she visited her grandparents, but remembered her older sisters roller skating around the outside porch, and being terrified of going up into the tower, where the family had gathered to look at a fire somewhere in the valley. Rebecca has done a delightful job in restoring the stately house, and we are all very grateful for her work. It was sad to see it crumbling into a haunted house before she bought it.

Thank you for this publication, by the way. I think I’m going to have to spend some time learning more about historical Snohomish.

My parents, Barnard Maughlin and Evelyn Tupper were married in that house in 1924. I visited my grandparents there when I was a very small child. I haven’t been inside since, but would love to arrange a tour sometime.
