The Devil Queen

How my wife and I sold our souls to the Queen Anne Victorian we tried to save.

About Me

Name:
Location: Crow Mountain, Arkansas, United States


Synopsis: This is a cautionary tale. A seriously disturbed couple find the charming, old ruin of a Queen Anne Victorian in Russellville, Arkansas, and buy it for $1.00. They tore the roof off, cut it in half, and had it moved to some land they owned sixteen miles away because they didn't know any better. Since then, they have hired and fired contractors, had all of their tools stolen, re-wired, re-plumbed, insulated, and essentially rebuilt the entire house. Their only problem is that after four years it still isn't finished. Now they are tired, broke, and wonder what in the hell it is they've done to themselves. And, it's haunted.

Pilgrimage

This summer my Dad’s family may be making a pilgrimage back to our ancestral homeland, Chicago.  If this comes to pass, I will be in Chicago sometime in late July or early August.  If any of you Housebloggers would be interested in having dinner or a drink, let me know.  After years of watching you from afar, I’d love to meet you all.

You'd be welcome to The Box House any time. I could try to organize a BBQ with other Chicago-area bloggers.

Green Fairy and Lee,

Thanks! I'm going to see if I can't get my Dad and the family to actually settle on a final date for the trip and get back with you all.
