Thornewood is located in Lakewood WA and comprises 31,000 sq. ft. Starting in 1908, construction took four years at a cost of $1,000,000 ($10,000,000 in today’s dollars). Four-hundred-year-old bricks from an English castle were used. Later development reduced the acreage from 110 to just 4; however, restoration has brought back much of it’s previous splendor. A big boost came from Disney, which chose Thornewood as its haunted mansion in the mini series Rose Red by Stephen King. Today it is a B&B and wedding venue. The first picture shows Thornewood under construction in 1910.
