1119 Westchester Place

1119 Westchester Place is a fictional haunted house and a major setting featured in the FX Network television series American Horror Story. Colloquially known as the "Murder House", it was the main setting in the first season of the show, which has also since become known as "Murder House".

Description
1119 Westchester Place is a classic Victorian-style mansion located in Los Angeles, California. It was built in 1922 by Charles Montgomery - a pioneer in reconstructive surgery who became known as the "Surgeon to the Stars". Charles built the house for his wife, Nora Montgomery.

History
Almost from the beginning, the mansion began to cultivate an atmosphere of despair and grotesqueness. Charles set up the basement of his home as a laboratory wherein he would perform abortions. One of the husbands of one of Charles' patients flew into a rage after discovering his child had been aborted. Exacting revenge, he kidnapped Charles and Nora's infant son, Thaddeus Montgomery, and dismembered him - sending the remains back to the family. Charles used his scientific know-how to piece the remains together and restore it to a mocking semblance of life. This creature became known as the Infantata and remained in the basement of the house long after Charles and Nora had passed on.
