Spirit House, Historic house in Georgetown, New York, US.
The Spirit House features vertical two-by-fours with scalloped patterns on its exterior walls and a three-tiered cornice with downward-pointing decorative elements.
Timothy Brown, who moved from Vermont to Georgetown in 1847, constructed this residence in 1865 and opened it with a Thanksgiving dance celebration in 1868.
The second floor contained a large hall where Spiritualists held meetings, reflecting the 19th-century movement of communication with the deceased through mediums.
The property, which spans less than one acre, received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in March 2006 under reference number 06000160.
The interior design purposely excluded corners in every room based on the belief that spirits could become trapped in angular spaces.
