Heartbroken from the deaths of her infant daughter and her husband, Sarah Winchester consulted a medium who told her that her family was cursed, as her husband was the heir of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company.

Why does the Winchester Mystery House have stairs leading

Dozens of feet above the ground and lacking any kind of handrail, these steps connecting two steel doors on a high-rise look like a building inspector’s nightmare.But even if most don’t visit, I suspect it will still become one of those rare artworks that lodges in the public’s consciousness,conjuring thoughts about real-world problems. There is one elevator that provides rides to a platform at the top, but only those able to climb many flights of stairs can really navigate the structure. Concertgoers hike to a higher elevation to meet their friends before the EDM show across the street; a teenager in a dinosaur T-shirt claims the top tier as her solo dance platform. The people holding the capacity of the structure has been limited to only 700 at any given point of time. It has the same rusty color as local ironstone, a deliberate reference that does not indicate that the metal is in danger of falling apart.

This was no ordinary construction job, though; the house is an oddball labyrinth of rooms that at one point reached seven stories.

Many things installed in the home feature 13 of something: 13 window panes, 13 wall panels, 13 sections of flooring, 13 stairs in each staircase. Just as with every condo that goes up in a formerly vacant lot or on the site of a demolished house or business, the investment capital required to complete the project was only ever going to be worth spending if the result was inaccessible to the average person.

For me, it most resembles one of those sets in sci-fi films where members of an alien tribunal gaze down on humans and condemn them to work in salt mines on some distant planet. Its name is fitting, some argue, as it’s little more than an empty monument to the outrageous excess with which it’s surrounded. The sculpture, which is made of steel and is over 30 feet tall, is a staircase in the shape of a double helix. The structure weighs 13 tons and the top platform is 33 feet (10 meters) off the ground with nothing supporting it.The artist, who grew up in post-World War II refugee camps in Germany in which nearly every surface was made of wood, finds a sense of humanity in the most mundane objects. C. for Sumerian ziggurats, but stairs intended for seating came about 2,000 years later and were an established feature by the time of the Archaic Greek period, said Brian Rose, an archaeology professor at the University of Pennsylvania. A distinct offshoot of the Mid-Century Modern architectural style, Miami Modernist architecture (coined MiMo) developed in South Florida during the post-war period. The story of Hudson Yards is one that has played out on a smaller scale time and time again in New York City and virtually every other city in the world: a story of a piece of land that was devalued by the pollution of industry, marked for redevelopment via lucrative tax breaks and then transformed into something the vast majority of local residents can’t use.
