First Clue: torch

Please note, to participate in this week’s Mystery Location, you must vote in the Spooky House Contest. If you name or attempt to name the location and you haven’t voted in the Contest, you will not be allowed to participate in the Mystery Locations for a period of 60 days. (It’s a shame we have to threaten people to get them to vote, but unfortunately, that’s the way it is.)
Please read carefully before attempting to name the Location.
Following is the primary clue for Mystery Location No. 225:
The old mansion, a mixture of architectural styles, stands in a county that shares its name with a location across the sea. Even on pleasant, sunny days, it looks haunted – particularly the tower. In fact, one might say it’s the sort of place that wouldn’t be complete without a ghost or two. And while the spirit that stalks its halls is rather mundane, a common haunting is better than no ghost at all.
Each day, a new clue will be posted until someone names the location, providing the street address, city and state, as well as the room or apartment number, if applicable, (or province/country if located outside the US) and an explanation as to how each clue applies to the location. If no one correctly names the location, the contest will end at midnight (Eastern time), Saturday, October 31, 2020. Please note, the contest ends at midnight in the Eastern Time Zone. If you live in a different time zone, please make adjustments so you will know what time it ends where you are.
You may discuss the location with other members by posting your comments using the “reply” option, but please do not attempt to name the location until you are absolutely certain of your answer and you are able to post the street address, city, state, etc., along with a photo, or link to a photo, of the Location.
For those of you who remember our old Mystery Locations contest, the point system has changed. Now, if you name the location on the first day, i.e., Sunday, before midnight (ET), you will receive 7 points. Thereafter, the points will depend on the number of clues that have been provided when you name the Location as indicated below. If you name the Location after the first clue, you will receive 6 points, etc., as indicated below. However, after the Sixth (last clue) is provided on Saturday, you must name the location before midnight (EST) Saturday night. Upon accumulation of sufficient points, winners may choose an item from our Prize List.
Sunday (or before First Clue is provided) - 7 points
First Clue (Monday) - 6 points
Second Clue (Tuesday) - 5 points
Third Clue (Wednesday) - 4 points
Fourth Clue (Thursday) - 3 points
Fifth Clue (Friday) - 2 points
Sixth Clue (Saturday before midnight) - 1 point
If you wish, you may collaborate with another member and if the two of you win, points will be divided between the two of you.
This contest is meant to be fun, so, as before, we ask that you conduct yourself accordingly. To prevent any accusations of favoritism, Steve has been advised of the name and address of the Location and will not be participating in this week’s contest.
