Sandstone Columns
July 11 - These sandstone columns from the portico are all that remain of the Mason Mansion when it was demolished to make way for Haddaway Hall (see June 27 photo of the day). They are now displayed at the Proctor Library.
The thirty six room Mason Mansion was built in 1892 using local wood and stone. Allen C. Mason lost his fortune in the panic of 1893 and sold the mansion to Whitworth College, which used it as its main building from 1899 to 1914, when the college moved to Spokane.
