It doesn’t matter how old you get; you never outgrow
wanting to have a secret passageway or hidden room in your house. Though
most of us never get to realize those dreams, these houses are proof
that some do - though in the case of H.H. Holmes, some people’s dreams
are the nightmares of others.

The Stone Door
This one is probably the best because it’s literally invisible. One of
those rocks likely opens the door but the door’s crease is so seamless
that you’d never try to find it unless you knew it was there. Bravo,
designer. |

Hidden Children’s Play Room
Probably not the safest place for kids to be hanging out, but by far the
coolest. This is straight out of “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,”
which I hear they adapted into a book! |

The Hidden Safe
Even if you figure out where the secret door is you still have to find a
way to crack the massive safe. And if you figure THAT out you get the
warm greeting of a rack full of guns. I’d say on this one it’s best to
just stay away. |

The Mirror Door
Want a really easy way to scare the heck out of people? When they’re
looking at themselves in this mirror walk through it super casually.
This works best at night but during the day it’ll do some lifelong
psychological damage as well. |

Movable Shelf
This shelf opens up into a big room behind it. What’s cool about this
one is it’s a massive shelf, but since it’s raised off the ground it’s
not impossible to move. That’s really some incredible engineering.

Hidden Room Behind Boookcase
That is a MASSIVE room. Like someone looking at the house from the
outside would definitely be able to figure out there was a room there.
But then again, would they be able to figure out how to get into it?
Probably not.

|
The Bookcase Door
Even more impressive than the bookshelf that opens up into a door might
be this library that looks like it’s straight out of Hogwarts. How much
free time does this person have, anyways?

Garage that Appears Out of Nowhere
Oftentimes in San Francisco there are strict rules against changing the
overall look of the outside of your house. This person wanted a garage
but couldn’t change their house’s appearance so they did this.
