Historic Building in Sappho Burned

A 98-year-old house in Sappho was destroyed by a fire yesterday. The house was originally the headquarters of the Clallam Lumber Company.

Firefighters think the blaze started in the basement and spread quickly throughout the rest of the house, which had no fire stops.

I’ve only driven through that area a few times. It’s such beautiful scenery, as well as being a focal point of West End history.
