And the (perhaps unintentionally spooky) 1925 Edward Hopper painting House by the Railroad depicting one of these Gilded Age houses, which is said to have inspired the fictional houses in the Addams Family and in Psycho.

- stvswn 2y agoOne town over from my own hometown is Westfield, NJ where Charles Addams is from, and there's a house on Elm Street that looks a lot like the Addams Family house -- especially the one he drew in New Yorker cartoons. The town has a festival in his honor every year around Halloween and the house in particular features proudly as _the_ Addams Family house.

- seszett 2y agoIt doesn't look spooky at all to me, it looks instead like many of the decommissioned small town train stations (often they were tram stations, from an era when the countryside tramway network around here was very expansive before being replaced by buses) that have been turned into houses. They always look quite nice, but the downside of course is that they're next to tracks (and if the tracks are disused, then they're outrageously expensive).
