Yeah, and some of the weirdness of the house was a result of the 1906 earthquake. Large parts of the house were damaged or torn down in the aftermath, so what was left sometimes had no purpose - e.g. a staircase that now went nowhere, as the floor it went to no long existed (and they just didn’t bother to tear out the staircase). What you’re left with is a house that someone obsessively built onto, which is interesting enough.
The tour is hilarious, with attempts to create ghost stories, and pointing out every time, coincidentally, the number 13 comes up - oh, the banister has 13 posts? Maybe that’s because, I dunno, that’s how many fit in the given space?
