OVERVIEW
A four-story Queen Anne stone mansion built for German immigrant grocer and banker Hannes Tiedemann, whose wife and several children died of natural causes over the following years; the house has changed private owners repeatedly since.
REPORTED ACTIVITY
Longstanding legend attributes cruelty and hidden deaths to Tiedemann, though historians who have researched the property say the house was not completed until 1883 and no deaths on record involved foul play; reported phenomena include footsteps, cold spots, and apparitions on the upper floors.
VISITING
A private residence; not generally open to the public.
