About the Manor
Stone Creek Manor
was built in 1926 by Robert and Elsie Moore. Robert was the son of
the last Washington Territorial Governor, Miles C. Moore, who granted
the couple seven acres of land next to the Governor’s
Mansion. The property was originally landscaped by the Olmsted Brothers,
the son and stepson of Frederick Law Olmsted; the father of American
landscape architecture and the designer of New York City’s Central
Park.
The estate was later
purchased by the Munn’s, a well known wheat-farming
family who raised sheep on the property. A large rock at the entry gate
is engraved with images of sheep surrounding the address “756 Bryant.”
Some long-time locals remember sheep grazing in the front yard during
the 1940’s and 1950’s. The Munn’s sold to Pam and Bernie
Lang in the mid-eighties. The Langs made many improvements to the property
including the installation of landscaping lights, a restoration of the
home and grounds, and the construction of several outbuildings on the
back acreage. Their home won an architectural award in 1992.
The house was then
purchased by Bob and Hania Price after Bernie Lang’s
sudden death in 1996. The Price Family continued to improve the home
by installing air conditioning, a copper roof, and remodeling two of
the outbuildings behind the house that are presently rental cottages.
