This fine sandstone residence with its rock fence dates from about 1873. If it looks romantic to you, it's with good reason: the home was twice given as a wedding present to newlyweds. If the gift seems extravagant, remember that prices were not the same in those days as they are now; the house and lot sold for $903 in 1893. The building was bought by new owners in 2003, and now serves as the offices of the Mason County News, which has also been around since 1873.
