Inspiration for the
Barnavelt House
of New Zebedee, Michigan

The house where Lewis Barnavelt comes to live with his Uncle Jonathan.

"...a 3-story stone mansion with a tall turret on the front...little oval window set like an eye in the bank of shingles at the top of the turret..." [The House With a Clock in Its Walls].

"As for the house at 100 High Street, it was every bit as wonderful as the town, besides being strange and more than a little bit scary. There were lots of rooms to explore....Each room had its own fireplace made of marble that looked - depending on the room - like blue cheese or fudge ripple ice cream or green hand soap or milk chocolate" [The House With a Clock in Its Walls].

Named a Michigan Historical Landmark in September 1992.
