Oculus House - USA - May 2016

OK here is where things began to get a little surprising....

Following on from the awful 'Grand Hotel Disappointment' we headed off a short distance down the road to another town to attempt a sanatorium we had heard about. We saw the access but it required a fair old climb that neither of us were feeling up to knowing that the caretaker was living in a house across the street. So we walked back to the car and thought hang on we saw a curious looking house not far up the road so we may as well have a look, in for a penny and all that. Poking around the outside we found a way in so without a second look dived inside before the neighbours spotted us. And all I can say is wow. Ascending the stairs and actually seeing what it looked like inside was a heart-in-mouth moment. The rest of the house was just as weird too, with a load of African sculptures in one room and a massive window looking out onto the street in another.

It's a shame that when this particular building was converted into a house they ruined the aspect by adding an extra floor in, you will see what I mean.

These were all taken with no tripod as it was only ever intended as a scouting mission so the photos are a bit meh.

Thanks for looking

Nice house, but not too keen on the front, those pillars. But the rooms are nice and large.

It wasn't a house originally, hence the strange detailing

There were four large rooms arranged around the edge of the main circular atrium, with smaller interconnecting rooms between them. Must have been a very weird place to live.
