An opulent home in the Los Angeles suburbs has remained vacant for half a century, and its present owners continue to refuse to move in. Spread approximately 5,000 square feet, the luxurious residence is named 2475 Glendower Place and has five bedrooms.
It has been up for sale for a few times in the last ten years, and each time a new buyer bought it, they left it vacant and then made every effort to resell it.
The structure has begun to fall apart, having been vacant for sixty years. A yellow wooden staircase that revealed the deterioration was seen via an arched window.
In an effort to sell it in 2022, the existing owners were unable to find a buyer. People seem to be avoiding the deal because of the bloody past of the 1925-built home.
Harold and Florence Schumacher were the property's first registered owners and lived there as a family. This was before to the couple's 1928 deaths, which occurred only a few weeks apart.
And the weirder it becomes...
Magazine editor Welford Beaton and his son Donald came into the house two years later. Unfortunately, Donald became sick soon after they moved there and passed away at the age of only 21.
The year 1956 saw a particularly dark turn in the narrative, when Harold Perelson, a physician, moved in with his wife Lillian and their three kids, Judy, Joel, and Debbie.
Their family life was being severely strained at the moment due to Harold's medical business's massive debt. Judy, then eighteen, sent a letter to a cousin explaining how her parents' disagreements had been exacerbated by the family's financial struggles. Harold killed his wife Lillian by striking her as she slept on December 6, 1959, with a ball-peen hammer.
Following that, he assaulted Judy in her room, but she was able to escape. "Go back to bed, baby-this is just a nightmare," her father reassured Debbie, her younger sister, when the screaming awakened her. Judy's injuries were attended to by Marshal Ross, the occupant, when she ran away to a neighbor's home.
Harold had taken an overdose of 31 pentobarbital pills by the time Ross contacted the police and they showed there to take him into custody. Based on records, the father of three had only been in a psychiatric institution for a week the year before.
The antipsychotic chlorpromazine, which is used to treat schizophrenia, was administered to him. The property is known as the "Los Feliz Murder Mansion," according to the LA Times.
