The Founders
Henry McCleary was one of Washington's great lumber barons, a titan of industry whose influence shaped both the economy and landscape of the Pacific Northwest. The town of McCleary, Washington bears his name — he owned and logged the entire area.
McCleary's business acumen extended beyond timber. He owned one of the largest door factories in the region and is credited with inventing the veneer door, a revolutionary contribution to Washington's important veneer industry that changed manufacturing nationwide.
When Henry and his wife Ada commissioned this mansion, McCleary allegedly specified that it must outshine the nearby Lord Mansion — a goal the architect achieved with exquisite details both inside and out. The result is surpassed in grandeur and formality only by the Governor's Mansion itself.
The Architect
Joseph Henry Wohleb (1887–1958) was Olympia's preeminent architect, a visionary who defined the city's architectural identity for nearly half a century. Born in Waterbury, Connecticut, Wohleb arrived in Olympia in 1911 and quickly became the most sought-after architect in the region.
Wohleb is renowned for introducing the Mission Revival style to the Pacific Northwest, though his versatility allowed him to work masterfully across many styles. His portfolio includes some of Olympia's most treasured landmarks: the Jeffers Building (1913), Olympia National Bank (1914–15), the Thurston County Courthouse (1930), and numerous buildings now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The McCleary Mansion represents a departure from Wohleb's signature Mission style, showcasing his ability to create timeless elegance in a more classical tradition. Working in this building means being surrounded by the craftsmanship of one of the Pacific Northwest's most important architects.
Living Monuments
Gracing the grounds of McCleary Mansion are two magnificent Blue Atlas Cedars (Cedrus atlantica 'Glauca') — believed to be among the largest specimens in the United States.
These majestic trees, with their distinctive silvery-blue foliage and sweeping branches, have stood sentinel over the mansion for nearly a century. Native to the Atlas Mountains of Morocco and Algeria, Blue Atlas Cedars are prized worldwide for their striking color and graceful form.
The McCleary Cedars have grown to exceptional proportions in the temperate Pacific Northwest climate, making them not just a beautiful feature of the property but a botanical landmark. For tree enthusiasts and visitors alike, these cedars represent living history — planted when the mansion was new, they've witnessed nearly a century of Olympia's story.
