Murder House Inspiration

While this is the house used for the exterior shots for AHS season 1 in Los Angeles, rumors are that the inspiration for the Murder House was the Bailey Mansion. The Bailey mansion was said to have been a funeral parlor in Connecticut and the home of a murder-suicide, but those are most likely rumors to help build on the Murder House storyline. The true whereabouts of the Baily Mansion are disputed and the real Bailey Mansion has been found in Pennsylvania.

Recently, the 7,588 square foot Murder House Mansion was sold for a Market For $3.2 Million in 2015 to actress Angela Oakenfold and her partner.
