History
Built between 1898 and 1901 at a cost of one million dollars (32.4 million in 2023 dollars) by Alfred W McCune, a retired railroad tycoon. In 1920 the McCune family moved to Los Angeles and donated the house to the Church of Jesus Christ and the Latter-Day Saints.
The Church converted the mansion into the McCune School Of Music. In 1999 the McCarthey family bought the mansion and respectfully returned it to its past full glory.
The mansion is now available for tours, weddings and corporate events.
Paranormal Activity
The apparition of a young blonde girl is frequently seen. Witnesses have identified her as matching that of a girl depicted in a painting in the house. She is said to be 11 or 12 years old and is often seen wandering the halls and rooms or emerging /going into a large mirror on the west wall.
She is also said to be responsible for moving objects around and locking doors including those with no locks on the doors. Phantom footsteps have been seen and heard beginning and ending in the middle of rooms.
Lights go on and off on their own even when the mansion is empty.
