Winchester House
Built by Sarah Winchester, widow of rifle manufacturer William Winchester. This unique structure includes many outstanding elements of Victorian architecture and fine craftmanship. Construction began in 1884 and continued without interruption until Mrs. Winchester's death in 1922. The continual building and remodeling created a 160 room house covering an area of six acres.
