Winchester Mystery House is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places, although the documentation is terribly flawed," says Ignoffo. "You are led to believe it is a National Landmark, and many people believe that that means it is publicly owned or a non-profit. The house is privately owned and is a for-profit enterprise." In fact, the historian says that the house is still owned by the decendants of the Brown family, and they reside in the Bay Area. On a recent tour, when asked who owns the house, a tour guide answered by saying, "I don't know. And when we are hired, we sign a document that makes us swear we will not discuss it or look it up

The Winchester family no longer owns the house. It was bought by an individual for an extremely good price.

It's owned by an anonymous individual.

I don't believe so, I think once it was declared a landmark its owned by the state. They rely a lot on ticket sales for maintenance and upkeep.

Choy L Tang | Aug 23, 2018

No, its ownership transferred to state and they use the tickets incomes to maintain the mansion
