Owayesaziwa ngokuthi iNdlukazi Eningi EmaMelika, ikhaya lika-carpetbagger uCharles Wright Congelier, umkakhe uLyda, nentombazane encane, u-Essie, yayise-1129 Ridge Avenue, endaweni yaseManchester North Side yasePittsburgh. Indaba yokuphila kwayo njengendlu eqondile iqala ebusika ngo-1871, ngokutholakala kukaLyda uCharles enesibambisene nendodakazikazi. ULyda wathukuthela kakhulu, waze wagwaza uCharles wamnquma ikhanda lika-Essie.
Eminyakeni engu-20 eyalandela, indlu yahlala ingenamuntu. Lalungiswa kabusha ukuze lisebenze izisebenzi zesitimela ngo-1892, kodwa ngokushesha bahamba, bethi bezwa ukukhala nokumemeza komuntu wesifazane. Indlu Eningi Eyinkimbinkimbi eNamerica yabuye yahlala ingenamuntu.
Cishe ngo-1900, uDkt. Adolph C. Brunrichter wathenga ikhaya. U-Richard Winer noNancy Osborn encwadini yabo, i- Haunted Houses , babhala: "Ukuhlala kuye, udokotela wayengabonwa ngabomakhelwane bakhe. Ngomhla ka-Agasti 12, 1901, umndeni olandelayo wawuzwa ukukhala okukhulu okuvela eBrunrichter yokuhlala." "Lapho begijima ngaphandle ukuyophenya, omakhelwane babona ukukhanya okubomvu okufana nokuqhuma kwendlu, umhlaba wawuzungezile, futhi izindlu zangasese zaqhekeka. Wonke amafasitela edolobheni ladokotela ahlakazekile."
Lapho izikhulu zingena endlini ukuyophenya, zathola isidumbu sowesifazane esilahlekile embhedeni kanye nabesifazane abathathu abangenasici emathuneni angaphansi.
"UDkt. Brunrichter ubelokhu ehlola amakhanda aqokiwe," kubhala uWiner no-Osborn. "Kubonakala sengathi wayekwazi ukuqhubeka ephila isikhathi esifushane ngemuva kokunciphisa i-decapitation." UDkt. Brunrichter, okwamanje, ushiyiwe, futhi indlu yaphinde yema.
Ngenxa yokuthi idumela lokuxoshwa, le ndlu yayingenalutho iminyaka eminingana ngaphambi kokuvuselela okwesibili ukulungiswa kwabasebenzi base-Equitable Gas Company.
Lezi zisebenzi zathola izenzakalo eziningi eziyinqaba kodwa zabhala njengezisebenzi zabasebenzi baseMelika abazishintshile (ngenkokhelo ephansi). Ngobunye ubusuku izinto zathinteka kakhulu, kanti abasebenzi ababili batholakala befile phansi. Omunye wayenebhodi eliqhutshwa njengesihluthulelo esifubeni sakhe, kanti elinye lalenga elangeni. Laba bobabili babonwa bephila emaminithi ambalwa ngaphambili.
Ngo-1920, ososayensi odumile nomsunguli, uThomas Edison, beza ukuzofunda indlu. U-Edison wakhuluma ngomshini ayewakha ukuze avumele ukuxhumana nabafileyo. U-Edison wafa ngaphambi kokuba umshini ufezeke. UWinner no-Osborn babhala ukuthi ukuvakashelwa kukaThomas Edison endlini ka-1129 Ridge Avenue kubonakala sengathi kwathonya inkolelo yakhe eqinile ekupheleni kokuphila.
Ngo-September ka-1927, kwaboshwa udakwa owayebiza uDkt. Adolph Brunrichter. Utshele izindaba zamaphoyisa ezinonya ezithandweni zobulili, ukutholakala kwamademoni, ukuhlushwa nokubulala okwakwenzeke endlini. Iziphathimandla azikwazanga ukucacisa ukuthi indoda ebenesitokisini yayinguDkt. Brunrichter. Le ndoda yakhululwa ngemva kwenyanga futhi ayisabonakali futhi.
Izinsuku zabalwa ngenxa yendlu evulekile lapho wonke umuntu eqinisekisiwe kwakungalungile. Esiseduze, esakhiweni manje esibizwa ngokuthi iCarnegie Science Center, sasiyisikhungo esikhulu sokugcina igesi yemvelo emhlabeni jikelele.
Ngomhla kaNovemba 15, 1927, itangi elikhulu lokugcina igesi elinomgudu we-Equitable Gas Company laqhuma ngamandla amakhulu ayezwa kuwo wonke uhlangothi. Indaba ye-Old Allegheny City, eyakhiwe ngabasebenzi be-Programs Program of the Works Projects Administration, ichaza ukubhujiswa. "Njengoba izindlu zaqhekeka futhi ziqothuka izinsimbi, izitini, ingilazi ephukile, izingcezu zensimbi ezisontekile nezinye izinhlayiya zawa phezu kwamakhanda ezakhamuzi ezihlasele futhi ezanyakazisayo ezazigijimela emigwaqweni emakhaya abo aphehliwe, zikholelwa ukuthi ukuzamazama komhlaba kwavakashele umuzi. " Amandla ayeqinile kangangokuthi kuthiwa aphululela amafasitela kulo lonke elaseDowntown, eMt. Washington, nasekude kakhulu njenge- East Liberty . Izitshalo eziningi zokukhiqiza namakhulu emakhaya zonakaliswe noma zabhujiswa ngaphakathi kwendawo engamakhilomitha angu-20.
Indlu enkulu kakhulu e-America, eyake yahlala endaweni yosuku lwamanje yokushintshaniswa komzila ka-Route 65 / I279, yachithwa ekuqhumeni. Ngokusho kukaWinner no-Osborn, kwakuyiyona kuphela isakhiwo esibhujiswe ekuqhumeni okungatholakalanga lutho.
* Indaba engaphezulu ngenhla impela - mhlawumbe indaba. Wazalwa kancane kancane, kodwa iningi libonakala liyingqayizivele yemvelo. Mhlawumbe indlu yayiyibubi ngempela. Ngesikhathi le ndlu yonakalisiwe, ingabhubhi ngokuphelele, kulesi sigameko se-Equitable Gas, u-Marie Congelier, oneminyaka engu-28 ubudala, ushone ngalolo suku ngokusho kwemibiko yephephandaba. Ushaywe yi-glass glass futhi wabulawa endleleni eya esibhedlela. Ngisho noma konke okunye kweNdlu Yasekuqaleni Yasekhaya YaseMelika akuyona iqiniso, angizange ngimsole ngokumshaya indawo!
