Stump House, circa 1905

Order an Image
The Stump House on the Lindstrom farm near Edgecomb, Washington was a great curiosity in the early 1900s. No one seems to know its original builder, but the house was widely photographed. It appeared on postcards and even souvenir china. Edgecomb was a logging area, between the Snohomish County towns of Marysville and Arlington.

This photo, taken by Edmonds photographer Axtell, shows the Edgecomb Stump House in about 1905. The giant size of the stump gives a good idea of the size of the old growth trees.
