Building History

Judge William Harbaugh White (born 05/28/1842 in Wellsburg, WV-d. 04/29/1914 in Seattle, WA) wed his second wife Emma Francis McRedmond (born 02/11/1869 in Seattle, WA-d. 07/21/1932 in WA) on 09/27/1898 in Seattle, WA. (See Ancestry.com, Source Citation Washington State Archives; Olympia, Washington; Washington Marriage Records, 1854-2013; Reference Number: kingcoarchmr_03283, accessed 09/20/2022.) Judge "War Horse Bill" White was 27 years older than his bride, and with her opened this hotel in 1899, in the lumber town of Redmond, WA. White served on the Washington Supreme Court and Emma was the daughter of one the town's founders Luke McRedmond (born c. 1818 in Knockhill, County Kings, Ireland-d. 05/11/1898 in Seattle, WA). Emma managed this two-floor, 14-room hotel well after Judge White's death in 1914. It finally closed in 1932 due to the Depression.

Thereafter, the cross-gabled building operated as the Clubhouse for the Redmond Golf Links, a municipal golf course. It remained as this clubhouse until about 1978, when the course was sold and the land redeveloped. It then became office space. In 2022, Jensen Design Architects occupied space in the former Hotel Redmond.
