Notes
  • Significance: This extraordinary structure is sui generis. Constructed over a period of 38 years because its owner, Winchester Rifle heiress Sarah L. Winchester believed she would live as long as construction continued, the house contains 160 rooms and covers six acres. The original portion purchased in 1884 contains 17 rooms. Some of the 40 stairways and 2,000 doors lead nowhere.
  • Survey number: HABS CA-2107
  • Building/structure dates: ca. 18h2 Initial Construction
  • Building/structure dates: after 1900 Subsequent Work
