Hi Marilyn, It was a house that was built by Timothy Brown in the early 1800s in Georgetown, NY. He claimed that spirits guided him in the building of the house. He apparently was not a carpenter and had never built a house before. The work is considered extraordinary. You can read about it at this website: http://www.ovcs.org/district/spirit.htm .

Thank you so much for the URL. I clicked on and thought "I've driven by that house many times" and now I know the story. I've always admired that house. Dorothy in Florida
