In 1898, Hiram Clay Kellogg built one of Orange County's earliest Neoclassical Victorian homes. After the death of his first wife, he built a mansion as a gift for his second wife, Helen. His fascination with tall ships inspired a dramatic three-story spiral staircase that coils around a central mast and is topped by a crow's nest with no floor. Hiram died in 1921, and Helen remained in the residence for another 42 years, passing away in the same home. Unexplained phenomena reported in the uniquely crafted mansion suggest the Kellogg family may still linger within its walls.
