Here's another "horror" house. This one reminds me of American Gothic style architecture, and was built, possibly, around a hundred years ago. It doesn´t look like anything in the area, and it's amazing that something so extravagant was allowed to be built in the first place. It also seems incomplete somehow. It's located at the main square at Cova da Piedade, near Almada, and whenever I pass nearby it reminds of the house in Hitchcocks's "Psicho"...

Wow, that is one wild old house. I don't think I'd be inclined to spend the night alone in it... Creepy! Do you know anything about the history of this house?
K., the house does look scary, and that's why I would LOVE to be there for a night at least! Eheh (Provided the room was comfortable :))) It's quite in the centre of town, so the noise of cars and people is always present. It always seemed abandoned to me, with shattered doors and windows, but I'm told people lived there in apartments, and the place was also used for offices sometime. The local townhall is planning to restore it and create some kind of arts school there.
