Location:O'Dwyer Manor

Also known as the Annesley House, the O'Dwyer Manor is a Gothic-Tudor style mansion that was built in the 1880's by a wealthy woman known as Alice Annesley. The house has a long and largely unknown history, and was bought by Robertson O'Dwyer at some point in the last forty years, eventually passing to Odie after his uncle's death in '97. After Odie's death Shane purchased it.

The house is old and unkempt, with a lack of modern day conveniences. Even with every light in the house turned on, the house is still quite dim, and it lacks central heating, meaning that fireplaces must be used if the house is to be warmed.

The house's location is fairly remote, being over eight miles from the town proper, and the nearest house being across the shore, nearly a mile away. The lot itself encompasses not only the house, but several acres of the nearby woods and a large portion of Sovereign Lake as well.

Despite the very large size of the house, and the lot itself, its remote location, lack of modern-day utilities, and unkempt appearance reduced the value of the lot significantly and it sat on the market for four years before Shane bought it for less than half its worth. The lot is also infamous in Cold Springs for being haunted, or cursed, and it is the subject of numerous local legends and wive's tales.

## First Floor

The first floor is large, with an open foyer that has an old broken elevator, stairways that lead to the basement and second floor, and the living room, dining room, and kitchen.

## Second Floor

The second floor has four bedrooms, all a fair size and each with their own bathroom. It also has a sizable balcony that looks down into the foyer and living room.

## Attic

The attic has a single bedroom, currently used by Yuri. There's very little electricity available in the attic, which keeps Yuri from having his own T.V. The halls and other rooms have no lighting at all, and are cluttered with antiques and other junk from previous owners of the house. The attic tends to creak and make strange noises at night.

## Basement

The basement has been the most well-kept area of the house. It would appear that it was recently added, likely by Odie's late uncle, as much of the furniture and fixtures are rather new and work in good condition. Not long after moving in Nemo discovered a secret chamber beyond a trick bookcase in the small office, which he now uses as his lab and study.

The pool table is brand new.Basement stairs and sitting area, the curved walls would make Odie dizzy when he got high.The small courtyard. The statue bears the inscription "The Lady of Tears and her Hounds." Odie swore he saw her or one of her hounds move on at least three occasions. He always felt like she was watching him. Whether she's actually supernatural or not remains to be seen.The front broad of the house, with a small day patio off to the right.The campfire, Odie would spend some nights out here, as he was immune to cold temperatures. Because the "Weeping Woman" is looking towards the house, he wouldn't get as creeped out.The Greenhouse. It was partially unfinished when Odie inherited the manor, but over time Odie cleaned it up, and with some help from Hunter, managed to actually finish putting it together. He only used it to grow weed.
