The Winchester House is a gigantic house located in San Jose, California. Home of Sarah Pardee Winchester, widow of the gunsmith industrialist William Wirt Winchester, it was built in 1884, and since then continuously expanded for 38 years, until 1922. At the time the Winchester property was 650,000m², but now the plot of land has shrunk to 24,000m², the minimum to contain the house and nearby outbuildings. Currently a tourist attraction, also known as the Winchester Mystery House, it is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places and the Official List of California Historic Landmarks
