Kreischer Mansion is a historic home located at Charleston, Staten Island, New York. It was built originally about 1885 and is a large, asymmetrically massed 2 1⁄2-story, wood-frame house in the Late Victorian style. The rectangular house features spacious verandas, gables with jigsaw bargeboards, decorative railings, posts and brackets, tall chimneys, and a corner tower.
The bucolic setting belies this landmark building's turbulent past four decades. Rumors have circulated that spirits live in the home, which is on the market for $1.3 million.[citation needed] Several years ago a former caretaker was convicted of a murder on the site. [2][3]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
Haunting
Kreischer Mansion is reported to be haunted by Edward B. Kreischer, who committed suicide by shooting himself in the right temple near his place of business on June 8, 1894.[4]
