Many people decide to rebuild or redecorate their homes at some point, and
sometimes the job takes longer than expected. Very rarely, however, does it take
as long as one house in the United States. The Winchester house, owned by Sarah
Winchester in San Jose, California, was rebuilt twenty-four hours a day for over
thirty-eight years
The remarkable story of the Winchester house began in 1862 when Sarah Pardee
of Boston married William Winchester, the heir to the Winchester fortune
William was the son of Oliver Winchester who owned the rights to the
Winchester Rifle, one of the most popular weapons of the time
In 1866, Sarah and William had a daughter, Annie, who died from a disease as a
baby. Sarah was overcome with grief at the death of her child, and took many
years to recover. Then, tragedy struck Sarah again when William died of a disease
in 1881. Although she inherited $20 million in savings, and an income of a
thousand dollars a day, Sarah was again overcome with grief, and on the advice
of a friend visited a fortune-teller. The fortune-teller told her that her bad luck
15
was being caused by the ghosts of all the people who had been killed by the
Winchester Rifle. The fortune-teller also told her to sell her home and "head
towards the setting sun." Sarah Winchester took the fortune-teller's advice and
moved west to California, where she found the perfect house for her
20 The original house was a six-room farmhouse. As soon as she arrived, Sarah
started taking the fortune-teller's second piece of advice. She was told to never
stop building her house. Using the money her husband had left her, she employed
over twenty builders who worked night and day on the house. Every morning
Sarah would meet the foreman' of the builders and give him hand-drawn building
25 plans for the day. This went on until Sarah's death in 1921
Today, the house has over 160 rooms, 13 bathrooms, 47 fireplaces, 40 staircases
and three elevators. Guests at the house can look out over the land around the
Winchester house from any of the house's 10,000
windows. It is also easy for
get lost in the house. There are also, by some estimates, 2,000 doors if
30 you include all the closets in the Winchester house, and doors behind which
can find nothing but walls! Dozens of secret halls and trap doors
are also
built into the house. The reason why Sarah Winchester made all these change
entirely known. Many people think it was to confuse the many ghost
who
are said haunt the house. Others think that Sarah was simply
insane. Either
Winchester House is now a major tourist attraction and brings in thousands
of visitors a year.
