Trapezium House

This house was built in the shape of a trapezium by Charles O'Hara. O'Hara believed that evil spirits and ghosts inhabited right angles. Built in the early 1800s, has no right angles and no parallel sides. Its furnishings reflect the lifestyle of its owner during the mid-19th century. Tours begin at the Siege Museum.
