Mary Parminter, the wacky woman who built it over two hundred years ago, inherited his big fat business fortune, but she didn't just sit around waiting for suitors with $$$ in their eyes to put a fancy ring on her rich little finger.Instead, she packed up her stuff and marched off to Europe, taking her sister and two girlfriends with her. And the four girls toured Europe for 10 years, because why not?
When the girls came back from Europe, two of them decided to build their dream house by the sea, all on their own. And they wanted it to have 16 sides and diamond-shaped windows, because why not? And they covered the upper level of the house with seashells in intricate designs, and made friezes out of feathers in the living room.
