The story centers on an 1898 Neoclassical Victorian residence built by Hiram Clay Kellogg for his second wife, Helen, after the death of his first. Inspired by tall ships, he fashioned a spiral stair that rises three levels around a mast and sits beneath a crow's nest that drops straight through. Hiram died in 1921, and Helen continued to live in the home for another 42 years, ultimately passing away there. Today, reports of unusual happenings add to the belief that this distinct mansion may still be visited by members of the Kellogg family.
