Crookston’s Own Winchester House
Image by D. Bjorn, Catchin’ Up
On the edge of Crookston, there is this house. When I first saw it 20 years ago, it was a normal, average Minnesota farm house. Then, it slowly started to morph.
I didn’t pass by it again since it wasn’t on my normal route for close to 15 years. When I did in the summer of 2000, I had to stop. The guy who owns it had made a few additions. Okay, a LOT of additions, and it just looked bizarre.
I’ve asked a lot of people about the house, and have heard various stories. One is that as long as your building, you don’t have to pay the full amount on your property taxes. Others say the guy is just bored and likes to build.
I personally think he’s chasing demons. Just like the Winchester lady out in California.
