- You know I was just thinking how it'd be really cool to buy that house, live in it, and slowly and fix it up. That's literally how horror movies start.

  Go to renovate the basement, knock out a wall. "Huh, there's an extra room back here!" Weird paintings and stuff on the walls. Stone floor that fades into dirt in the back of the room along the rear wall that is far older than the rest of the house. Boom. Indian burial ground.

Built decades after slavery was abolished, actually seems out of place for its size and style.

- Do you mean plantation era...? Because it doesn't seem like any plantation era house I've seen. More like a pretty standard Victorian, imo, which tracks for when it was built. I'm just a lay person, however, and certainly no architect, so I could be wrong.

  You're really going to sit there and tell me this is nothing like a southern antebellum style house?
  
  That its spacious parlour and large number of rooms doesn't reminisce of a time of servitude in the USA?

  Looks pretty antebellum style to my eyes, at the very least antebellum-inspired. I mean, I say at the very least, but what I know about antebellum architecture is pretty limited to having seen them in passing in US Civil War books, lmao.
  
  Less grandiose than most, but it's got that kind of forward-heavy look combined with obsessive symmetry and that weird Anglo-Classical fusion.

- Maybe they liked the old slavery style?
  
  "It's just a fact of life", you know.

  Dumb question but what is slavery style? Like it seems like everyone else can immediately tell, but by looking at the house I personally don't know enough to be like "that house is a slave era house". Is it just the architectural style? Or is there a different tell? Thanks in advance I'm ignorant and dumb

I would live there if I was a southern vampire.

Manor Homes are extremely expensive without slaves and serfs. English lords only barely made it work with large scale unforgiving rent income. Just ask Ireland and India.

- So the house was built in 1894, and boy, do I have some surprising historical facts for you!

Looks a bit like the house from Stranger Things.
