Located near to the Alamo square’s Painted Ladies is this wonderful gothic “stick” Italian villa with a long weirde history. Built by a Candy Baron in 1889, it’s housed variously; a Russian Czarist nightclub, Jazz musicians, Satanists, a Manson family member, and one of the first 60’s Hippy communes -Calliope. Creepy as hell enshrouded in fog after dark.
