The Hastert House
The Craftsman house was built by A.H. Griffin. Telephone records indicate a Frederick Hastert was listed in the 1926-27 phone book at this address. The home was later owned by the Stouffer family, who owned a building supply company in Aberdeen. Their warehouse still stands under the Chehalis River bridge and was at one time, evaluated as a possible location for the Aberdeen Museum of History. In the mid-2000’s the house was purchased by the then-owner of the Coney mansion in Cosmopolis.
The house features original woodwork, fixtures, and a stained-glass window along the staircase to the second floor. There is a tunnel from the garage into the house to facilitate a dry entrance during inclement weather. In the mid-2000’s the kitchen was beautifully remodeled to reflect the Craftsman architecture of the house and a large family room adjacent to the kitchen was added.
