The row house looks like somewhere bodies might be buried,in the cellar or backyard.

What emotions do you get from this 5000 square foot mansion? Anything happen here?

Here is an HO scale house I own. It is serving as a setting for a novel I have been working on. I am interested in seeing what you think of it.

I quite like this house. It is the kind of house I would love to live in, but hate to clean. It has character and lots of rooms. It's a house that looks like it could have a history of unsettling events, and secrets. It reminds of a house that might house a family like in the film Spider Baby or the Peacock family from The X-Files. But as I said, it would be murder to clean.
no pun intended.

Emotions. intrigue, mysterious, and atractive

Boredom. Probably a nice place to visit, but it seems to have a certain pomp and showiness that would not a stay comfortable for a long period of time.

I bet it's a nightmare to clean.

Sorry you're asking for emotions and I keep saying what I think. On the other hand I cannot imagine bed bugs here, unlike the HO Scale house.

Hi glider, this is a fun thread.

I didn't like the first house, but couldn't say why. I got really bad vibes off the upstairs of the Bein house, but then it's a spooky looking photo. I got nothing from the Becker house.

I get nothing off of this one either. Do tell!

OK, here is my contribution. What emotions do you get from this house?:compress:

Any guesses as to the age and significance of the house?

Max - just sad, nothing terrible.

I don't have any guesses, although I do wonder why it is still standing when it is so obviously neglected.

A very dark and gloomy looking place, as Moomingirl said, now sad and neglected. Built perhaps just over 100 years ago or so? and left standing because someone well known grew up there maybe... surrounded by high rises in a city CBD, I think someone from music, literature or maybe the civil rights movement might have spent childhood there? (a person no longer living?)
In a southern city perhaps?

I don't get the impression anything particularly terrible happened here, but that possibly the person who grew up here, may have met a tragic end much later?

Just my possible interpretations...

Thanks for the comment. I don't find it sad though. Seeing houses like that make me kind of happy.

Yes it was owned by a crazy old guy who was living in the rundown farm house that he was born in. But at least he lived in the place he was born and kept the house away from developers. Now that he's gone, the the house has been torn down and replaced by boring cookie cutter townhouses.

Joseph Thomas-Hazell just sits on his fortune.

He's 82 years old and owns nearly half a city block near Interstate 25 and South Colorado Boulevard. He lives in the shadow of high-rise office buildings.

He owns enough land for another tower - or several new homes in a neighborhood where folks are ripping down tiny abodes to build mini-mansions.

He subsists on a fixed income but says he will never sell his property, despite a few offers that have come his way over the years: "This is where I was born, and this is where I want to die."

If the land could be rezoned for multiple residences or an office tower, it could be worth $1 million or more. Thomas-Hazell's father, a minister and electrician, bought the property in 1909.

"Of the 659 students in my (high school) class, there was one black kid (that was him), Joseph Thomas-Hazell," wrote the late Rocky Mountain News columnist Gene Amole in 1998. "He never married. Joe told me he had been severely abused by his parents when he was a child."

Today, Thomas-Hazell wears wrinkled clothes and has unruly white hair, reminiscent of Albert Einstein's. He wears wire-rimmed glasses and speaks with professorial kindness and intelligence.

They have AC probably, so it's cool inside. I'd have to be on my manners cause it looks genteel and that palm tree you see a little of from the back means it's Southern so double manners. I get that it's something like my grandmothers third cousin twice removed or something. And that it's in South Carolina.

I found the house itself sad. I love the fact that the old guy stood up for his principles and lived how he wanted to, despite the offers of developers. It's just a shame that 'progress' is seen as knocking down all the character and turning everything into a bland homogenous sprawl.

This is the Edmont Bed and Breakfast in Port Royal, Virginia. It was built in 1976. I don't know of anything unusual that has ever happened there---just a neat place to stay and enjoy the Virginia country side and views.

Here is the next house for you to contemplate. What do you think about it?

Well...I don't think the above house is going to go anywhere on here. Anyway, that is the Peyton Randolph House in Williamsburg, Virginia---a house known to be haunted. And it's had some interesting history along the way.

Oh well...let me give you another house to look at and discuss. And yes there has been some artistic liberty taken with it.
