ABOUT

The Ox & Rabbit Manor was founded sometime in the early 19th Century by an odd consortium of US government, military and private holders.

 

In 2013, the properties composing

Ox & Rabbit Manor were acquired by

D. M. Martin and M. M. Gamboa. Martin's assignment followed several successful years in the Far East Offices while Gamboa came to the 'O & R' after stints in Training, R&D and field assignments in Chicago, California and Europe.

 

Today, the Ox & Rabbit Manor stands on a robust history as it forges ahead into a new century.

The site of Ox & Rabbit Manor has been inhabited since before the Lewis & Clark mission to the Pacific Northwest.  In the time of Lews & Clark; it was a space reserved for regular gatherings among or between the local tribes.

 

Later, the land came into the posession of a disgraced Irish nobleman in the late 1500's.  History gives no clue as to what an Irishman was doing in the Pacific Northwest at that time.  The land remained in the Irish family's possesion, with only a small cabin, barn and still added, until after the American Civil War.  It was in the early nineteenth century when the property took the form and scope it has today and assumed the name "Ox & Rabbit."

 

Due to its strategic postion at the top of a local hill, the site that became Ox & Rabbit Manor hosted a number of forts, mansions, homes, farms, etc.  It was the site of several treaty negotiations between Native American tribes, Native American and  the US Government, the Kree and the United Nations, just to name a few. The site has been on the National Monument recomendation list for twelve years and counting.

 

In the 1910's, the land came into the posession of Howard Stark Sr.; it remained in the the Stark family until the 1950s when it was donated to serve as the Pacific Northwest offices of first the Strategic Scientific Reserve and the later the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Espionage, & Logistic Divison.  Later it returned to private ownership, but retains close ties with the previous owners.
