Winchester House / San Jose, CA

Sarah Winchester believed in the advice of mediums. The number thirteen held special significance
for her. Many places in the Winchester Mansion bear this out. One room has thirteen windows. Those thirteen include; four panes with six Tiffany panes above them, two diamond shaped windows in the staircase that leads to the room and one more (the thirteenth) in an interior wall of the room.

This is a beautiful photo, unlike any photos I have seen from other photographers. That's not an easy accomplishment as there are thousands of Winchester House photos out there. Many others seem so much alike. I went to that house and enjoyed it. I wonder what Sarah's niece/ asst. did after Sarah died. I know she, Ms. Marriott, inherited all the furniture and sold most or all at auctions. She didn't inherit the house, so what else could she do. I wonder if she traveled, went back to college or what job she took next. I've read the books and not found the answer. Anyone out there know? Your other photos in this set are also colorful and creative, shot from different angles or of different items. You did Sarah proud.
