Spend a night in the “Murder house” from “American Horror Story-“Horrorday Inn available on Airbnb

The American Horror Story: Murder House is the first season of the series AHS which tells a story about the Harmon family who moved to Los Angeles from Boston in an old mansion.

Through the episodes, they realize the house is haunted by the former residents and the victims that were killed by them. The creepy part is that the original house was built in 1902 and even the real owners think that it is haunted.

The architect who built this house is Alfred Rosenheim who was one of the leading architects in Los Angeles in the early 20th century. In the season of AHS, this house was the filming location only for the pilot episode and afterward a replica was made for the whole season.

Located in Country Club Park in Los Angeles, the house was built in Collegiate Gothic-style, and it is a single family home. Rosenheim lived in it with his family for ten years, and later he sold it to A. J. McQuatters. In the early 1930s, the actor Edward Everett Horton lived in the mansion. Later on, it was used as a convent by the Sisters of Social Service who added a chapel to the grounds.

In 1994, the house was damaged by the Northridge earthquake, and the Catholic order put it on the market for 3 million dollars because they were against repairing. When the locals heard about this, they nominated the house as Cultural Landmark to prevent the demolishing of the building.
