Today’s Mystery is a question: Who built Maryhill (on the Columbia River) and how, in the beginning, did he get his workers?
By Mr Sam Hill to honir the dead of WWI, a replica of stonehenge in England. Don’t know about his workers though. Don’t remember
8 Oct mystery. Sam Hill built Maryhill, intending to live in it one day. I think I remember that he was the inventor or at least a major supporter of asphalt paving. Perhaps the origin of the phrase, “What in the Sam Hill were you thinking?” was first uttered by his wife Mary when he proposed they live in such a remote place!
Sam Hill, the railroad builder. He used his own rail system.
