The David and Martha Entwistle House was built in 1912 during a time of tremendous growth in the community. Arrival of the Great Northern Railroad in 1910 and the Chicago, Milwaukee and Puget Sound Railroad in 1911 triggered the rapid development of the area’s agricultural and logging industries. David Entwistle was the son of Tolt pioneers James and Sarah Entwistle. The Entwistle house, built in the Craftsman style, has a recessed full-width front porch supported on piers built of river rock from the nearby Tolt River, a hipped roof with dormers, and diamond pane windows.
The David and Martha Entwistle House was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.
James Entwistle first claimed 169 acre at the confluence of the Tolt and Snoqualmie Rivers as a homestead in 1858. A portion of the Entwistle homestead was sold to the school district, where Tolt Middle School stands today. The Valley Memorial Park property was donated by David Entwistle. The remainder of the farm property was eventually developed with 92 homes, now known as Regal Glen.
