With Halloween around the corner, I want to show my Readers the “Historic Herndon Halloween House”. Actually, it is also known by its other name as the historic home on Spring Street.
What I’ve noticed about some of these old historic homes is that the roadway in front of them can be a bit narrow. I actually had to park my car several blocks away and then be careful not to get in the street while taking photographs.
There is a variety of signage in front of this home from “Do Not Enter” to “Warning Biohazard”
Home with a Herndon Historic Plaque
This home located on Spring Street was built in 1898 and is Herndon Historic Plaque No. 20. Additions to the home were made back in 1910, 1925, 1930, and 1948. Then in 1976, the home was noted to need repairs. The owners after than, made repairs and now the house looks to be in great condition.
No one does Halloween decorating better than this house, so that’s how it got its nickname of the “Historic Herndon Halloween House”.
There are several Halloween decorating themes going on with this historic home with many of them using skeletons.
One theme is visiting the graveyard, another is skeletons and skeleton pirates running amok, and there is even a Christmas tree being decorated by skeletons.
It must take this homeowner many hours to set up all the pieces to their Halloween extravaganza.
This is a front view of the Historic Herndon Halloween House. You can see the banner, “Historic Herndon Halloween House” running under the top of the porch.
If you look closely at the below photograph, you will noticed that our skeleton cook is grilling some human hands, brains and eye balls on a stick.
I like the details of the blood splattered BBQ hood.
The photograph on the right, shows a side view of the home.
We have a happy skeleton who looks like he is taking a trip to a sunny location wearing a tropical print shirt.
Special Delivery Mailbox in Front of the the Historic Herndon Halloween House
No Halloween detail is too small for these homeowners, for example, look at the scary, blood streaked mail box in the below photograph.
There is a pair of ghostly-looking hands reaching out to get the mail and perhaps a few Halloween party invitations.
I think this home gets a lot of happy trick or treaters on Halloween.
A series of orange wooden pumpkins decorates the fencing.
Not all pirates sail the seven seas. This boat is adrift in Herndon at the Historic Herndon Halloween House.
No, thanks to taking a cruise on that ship.
Ending Notes:
When I look at the this Halloween decorated house, I think of all the time and effort that goes into the holiday every year.
As Always, Happy Halloween!
