Exploring The Lockwood Mathews Mansion 

I lived in Norwalk for years and have never been inside of that mansion. That mansion was the house used in the old television soap opera "Dark Shadows".

Oh so beautiful!!!😍 Gotta love the Victorians! Absolutely loved those ceilings!

Wonderful choice of music.

Nice house, even if it looks like the Addams Family house from outside! The same type of scheduling conflicts happen to me and my wife when we plan stuff as well, it's not just you. It's like a laugh from the universe at our expense! LOL! Thanx for the tour! 😎👍

There’s a bowling alley in the basement. There’s also an alarm system where each window was wired up. That was 40 years ago. My dad did some restoration there. Neat place.

And the Gentleman hat bought the house from the Widow, spent years tracking down all the furniture that she sold off. Once he was ready to move in, he died of a mysterious illness. 😔That may be what gave the house its reputation.

The.mansion is really beautiful. I like buildings that look like castles. 90,000 is not bad for that much living space. I’m sure be more nowadays. It’s ashame the city uses some of it for storage . I like the dome plant room. I wonder if they host weddings and receptions there. Will look into visiting.

"... looks like it's from a movie, doesn't it?" That's because it is. Both "Stepford Wives", 1975 and 2004 had scenes filmed here. It stood in for the mysterious "Mens' Association". Watch out, Joy... or is it Julie? Your hubby speaks rapidly... 😜 PS -- when this lockdown ends in a decade or so, go to Lockwood at Christmas. It's very special. PPS -- it has a Titanic connection as well. Not the movie; a survivor of the sinking... Helen Churchill Candee. Fascinating. Her son or daughter was living there in 1912 and she went there to recover from injuries sustained when she jumped into a lifeboat. The same one that Margaret (Molly) Brown was in. She and Molly rowed together, despite the pain she must have been suffering (fractured leg bone). All the best to you both!

Wow nobody ever lived there. Wonder what is under the house to make it’s reputation unlivable

Me: not seeing dinosaur fossils in the mansion Also me: my disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined
