Thread: Awsome Victorian Mansion

Tweet

These are some of the mansions we have here in San Antonio,TX

The first is Midget Mansion (thats what it's called. I'll explain) Which is more of a plantation Mansion. Sad thing is, this mansion is gone. A Rich man who was a midget lived in the mansion with his wife (also a midget) and his to children who were normal. One day the father came home and murdered his wife and children and hung himself in a closet. The mansion layed abandoned for decades and was a popular sight for teens to "hang out" at. The mansion was thought to be haunted by those who died and earned it's name "Midget Mansion" until the mansion burned mysteriously leaving it in ruins. The mansion was later torn down and appartments were put on top of the old property. I actually live very close to this sight. There was also another old abandoned plantation Mansion that was closer to the higway until it too was torn down about 8 years ago to make way for Lowes. How ever there is a HUGE mansion near by that is still standing that I will have to get some pictures of. any way...here is a picture of midget mansion ( I didn't take this)


Next are the Mansions on Historic King William Street. These are more victorian Mansions. I don't know the names of them but they are VERY old and I'm sure Haunted.

and this next one is my FAVORITE!! It reminds me of a miniture version the Winchester house in California. It has a very Disney Haunted Mansion look to it and I want this mansion to be mine ssoooo bad. Oh the things I could do with it for Halloween!!

Nice isn't it?
There are so much more mansions but I could not find pictures of them online. i will have to drive by these places take pictures for you guys. so this not the end! Enjoy!

Ahh, San Antonio... You are very lucky! There are some beautiful old homes there. The middle pic of the King William Street home is my favorite! You're right - gotta be haunted!
Do you know the architect of the third home? It has a very Nicholas Clayton-ish look to it. Just wondering...

No I don't. I actualy want to do more research on the house. I must say it is one of the most unique houses here.

my favorite was the second one also. they're all cool though. we came to texas once and got to go past the hunt mansions. can't really remember what they looked like. it was 20 years ago. did the midget mansion assume a regular size?

Sorry I'm kinda late on this, I've been put of town. Yes the mansion was normal size but it did have some small door around the mansion and I belive a few other things to make it more easy for them.
