Ghosts, vomit, poop, and character death happen in this chapter! And now for the silly trivia.
A lot of the architectural stuff I mention are based off real things. The House itself is based off the abandoned smallpox hospital on Roosevelt Island (though in much better repair and devoid of feral cats). The staircase is based off the Northern Stair of the Monticello. The orphan toilet is based off one in the Loring Greenough House in Boston, and while I can find no photos, I have seen it in person and it's just as goofy as it sounds. (If I recall correctly, the legend was the old woman in charge of the house was really unhappy about having to get indoor plumbing so was as spiteful about it as possible.)
