A Very Special Visitor Returns to the Mansion

On August 20, the Mansion welcomed Marjorie Willits Albright, a college roommate of the late Libby descendant Ellen Libby Lawrence, who passed away at the age of 101 last October.

Marjorie remembered eating in the Mansion’s Dining Room and sleeping in one of the bedrooms upstairs when she was visiting Portland with Ellen on a break from Wellesley College in 1936. By that time, the Libby family still owned the house but had removed some furnishings.

Her memories of the house were remarkable and we so enjoyed this wonderful visit with Marjorie and her son Randall.
