Helen Mirren To Play Sarah Winchester, Heiress Who Built Mystery House, In New Film: SFist

Very strange house left unfinished on purpose. Media Relations - The world famous Winchester Mystery Housea„C/ in San Jose, California, is an extravagant maze of Victorian craftsmanship a€“ marvelous, baffling, eerily eccentric, and undeniably, haunted.

As far as anyone is concerned, it as done as it will ever be. Too much of a tourist trap to complete. If it ever quits making money and isn't an historical landmark, I'm sure they would sell the house for the land. Strange house, though. Sad that Ms. Winchester was so afraid of death that she let her superstitions overcome her.

I have toured it a few times over the years. It is worth a look if you are in the San Jose area.

She was an interesting woman. Probably mentally ill from the looks of it. Sarah Winchester - The world famous Winchester Mystery Housea„C/ in San Jose, California, is an extravagant maze of Victorian craftsmanship a€“ marvelous, baffling, eerily eccentric, and undeniably, haunted.
