The original construction was completed in 1914 for the Snyder family who owned Snyder Drug Company. The Snyder's son, John, grew up in the house and later became Secretary of the Treasury under President Truman.

During the depression, Mrs. Bernice Link purchased the house and converted in into eight apartments. It is estimated that families of four lived in each apartment for a total of 32 people living in the house. Mrs. Link sold the house to Dr. & Mrs. J.P. Goad who lived in the house for 32 years and occupied 2 of the apartments while renting out the remaining six. Ken & Shirley Stacks purchased the house in 1992 for use as apartments and to eventually convert the house into a Bed & Breakfast Inn.

In earlier times when hosting a party, the host would place a pineapple on the mantle at the beginning of the party. When the hostess decided to end the party, they would quietly remove the pineapple from the mantle.

The guests would take notice that the pineapple was removed and thank their host and leave. At West Washington Guest House our pineapple will always be on display to welcome our guests.
