In 1898, Hiram Clay Kellogg built a grand residence that ranks among Orange County’s earliest Neoclassical Victorian homes, later gifting the mansion to his second wife, Helen. Guided by his love of tall ships, he created a striking three-story spiral staircase encircling a central mast and topped by a bottomless crow’s nest. Hiram died in 1921, and Helen remained for decades before passing away in the same house. Today, reports of unexplained activity suggest the Kellogg family may still linger within this uniquely designed mansion.
