1. This thread is about an interesting clue @CzebotarJessie inspired me to look into- #architecture. Apparently, certain masonic architects, such as #FrankLloydWright, designed structures, which can indicate either a safe house, a house where sex & rituals can take place etc. 
Many houses have a network of tunnels underneath them. From the outside, it is hard to tell, but for instance, looking at the #WHWinslowResidence, the stairs from the pantry, could indicate an entrance to the tunnels.
2. The #IsidoreHHeller house however is possibly telling an interesting story. Originally owned by an Austrian butcher, Isidore H. Heller, who worked at Wold Sayer & Heller Packers & Butcher's Supplies. #FrankLoydWright designed this house in 1897.
The view of St Agnes from the cliffs that tower above it, & which are dotted with the shafts of disused tin mines. This is a literally haunted landscape: the miners believed warnings of disaster would be given them by ghosts who dwelt in the mines.
But not all were benign...
But not all were benign...
Polbreen Mine, haunted by the ghost of a girl called Dorcas, who threw herself down a mineshaft, & then, as a disembodied voice, tormented miners by calling out to them by name.
