The haunted boardinghouse is \na more or less normal house (architecturally speaking, although it \nhas had various additions/subtractions over time) except that each \nside is a front, each in a different architectural/historical style.\n\nThe Drinkwater house has five different fronts and is actually five \ndifferent, interpenetrating houses, somehow folded together. And it \nwas designed that way deliberately, from the beginning.\n\nWilliam Ansley"
