Some Great Reference Sites

Here are a couple links that have really helped me or inspired me when it comes to architectural details in my haunted house.

The Old Haunted House site has a small gallery of real houses that are all great examples of haunted looking homes:

This about.com page features a brief description of the most common Victorian styles such as Second Empire and Stick Built. Great for reference if you are bashing a kit or scratch building because it lists the most common details of each style:

Here is a great blog that really dishes out alot of facts about Victorian living and homes. It is conveniently divided into sections such as Victorian Kitchens, Contents of a Victorian Home, Colors and wall papers, etc. Invaluable.
