Neely Mansion – 1894

Auburn, Washington

The Neely Mansion is listed on the National Register for Historic Places, the Washington State Register, and is also a designated King County Landmark.  It was constructed from 1891 to 1894 by Aaron and David Neely, early pioneers in the Green River Valley, and has long been known as a fine example of Victorian classic revival architecture.  The Neely farm consisted of over 200 acres and was a social center for the area due to a nearby ferry-crossing on the river.  Through the years, many tenants leased the farm from the Neely family. 

The mansion, which had fallen into a deteriorated condition, has been restored by the Neely Mansion Association.  This nonprofit, volunteer historical society now owns the mansion.  Restoration is still taking place, as feature by feature, the mansion is brought back to its former glory.  Citizen involvement is welcomed to keep the mansion in a restored and operational condition.

The Neely Mansion is open for tours to school and civic groups, as well as to the general public.  Special arrangements can be made for tours, weddings, and other social events.  For further information, call (253) 833-9404.  Located off State Highway 18, east of Auburn, Washington, at the foot of the Auburn-Black Diamond Road Exit.
