Historical Marker
I believe -- and I could be mistaken on this -- that there are several houses that are considered the "model."
A myth that won’t die: Addams did not base the Family house on this. There was/is a house in Rhinebeck that was close, but his house was an amalgam of Victorian features, and he never drew it the same way twice.
Thanks, Linda. I was hoping you'd chime in! I pass by the Rhinebeck house on my way to the library-- it never fails to remind me of Addams.
I did not know the Charles Addams house existed.
