The “Rose Red’ Mansion ..which was fictionally located in the First Hill neighborhood of Seattle ….is actually the “Thornwood Castle” located in the Lakewood neighborhood of Tacoma, Washington… It was ABC’s last May Sweeps miniseries… The book by Stephen King.. The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer (My life at Rose Red) was actually loosely based upon the Winchester Mansion in San Jose, California ..which at the time refused filming in fear of being overwhelmed.
