Sarah Winchester — heiress to the Winchester rifle fortune and owner of the Santa Clara Valley’s most interesting home — died Sept. 5, 1922. And she has continued to fascinate us, some might say haunt us, in the century since.

While she had a large impact on the valley and the Peninsula — Southern Pacific purchased from her 140 acres of land to create Los Altos — her most visible legacy is the 160-room mansion she owned in San Jose, called Llanda Villa in her day and known now as the Winchester Mystery House.
