The House that Sarah Winchester Built






Saturday we found ourselves in SUNNY and WARM San Jose to visit the Winchester House. It is a tragic story that led Sarah Winchester to the brink of madness. Her belief in a family curse and haunting spirits were behind her purchase of an unfinished house in San Jose in 1884. From the time she acquired the house until the day of her death there was round the clock construction on her home. Thirty-eight years of endless building! What do you build when the only requirement is that building must never stop?- Staircases to ceilings, doors that open to walls, windows in the floors and chimneys that never reach the roof!
