One look at this mansion, and the feeling creeps in that you may have spotted it in the movie "Edward Scissorhands". Maybe it's the Gothic architecture or it could just be the distance from the concrete jungle. A boon for children and even the mature generations to learn a spot of history. The second floor cannot be accessed by wheelchairs or walking apparatuses, though the ground and first floor can be visited easily.
