At one time this 1890s house was reportedly a bordello, after standing empty since the 1970s it was restored around 2013 and operates an antique store after a stint as a tourist attraction offering tours. During the restoration some papers were found indicating that the staircase was imported from Germany. Some people say the place is haunted by former patrons who alledgedly met their end here. At any rate the place has an interesting history.

At one time they had monthly guided active (haunted) tours of the house, I'm guessing that's history now. I'm not sure if tours of the house can be arranged at Cars on the Route which is across the street from this gothic house.

x About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
xDid You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned lanes are still there.
