No, Rose Red is NOT a real mansion, although Stephen King got the idea from a real mansion and a real woman: Sarah Winchester, and the Winchester Mystery House. It is important to note that no one has ever been killed or gone missing in the Winchester Mystery House. See the Related Links.
The production company of the mini-series and the authors of both books that it is based on (Stephen King's Rose Red; and Ridley Pearson's Diary of Ellen Rimbauer: My Life At Rose Red) have worked incredibly hard to dupe you. I thought it was real for the longest time and know some very credible people who also thought it was fact.
The truth is their are no such people as John and Ellen Rimbauer nor is there a great maneating house on Spring Street in Seattle, WA. The house used in the mini-series is called Thornwood Castle. The university which Joyce Reardon supposedly teaches at is also fake as is she. There is a rather authentic looking Beaumont University Website, but it too is a FAKE! This rather elaborate setup is debunked in completion in the HistoryLink article (again, see the Related Links).
I agree. No one has been killed or gone missing in the Winchester house, but you might bump into a wall, stairways that go into the ceiling, corners, and doors that go straight down. She was quite a eccentric lady! Some say the death of her husband and child drove her insane. She spent her life trying to contact them in seances while adding on rooms to the house. I still question if she was insane to begin with, and their deaths made her worse. She left behind a great tourist attraction!

∙ 13y agoThere is no Rose Red mansion. It does not exist, nor did it ever exist. It was purported to be a true story, but it was a hoax, just like with The Blair Witch Project, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Paranormal Activity, and others. However, Stephen King got the idea from Sarah Winchester and the Winchester Mansion, which did/do exist. See the Related Question below.

Does the Ellen Rimbauer mansion still stand?
There is no Ellen Rimbauer mansion. Ellen Rimbauer is a fictional character from Stephen King's Rose Red. She is not a real person, and never was a real person.The Winchester Mansion in California is the real life mansion that gave Stephen King the idea. Sarah Winchester's husband invented the Winchester rifle; Sarah became convinced that the ghosts of the people killed by her husband's gun were haunting her, and would not stop haunting her unless she built a great big house for them. She believed that as long as she continued building the mansion, the ghosts would let her live. Since the "ghosts" told her how to build the house, it was constructed using some very kooky building plans. It has staircases that lead to nowhere, shelves that are 11 inches deep and therefore useless, another staircase that is nine feet high with steps two inches high, and many other oddities. See the Related Link below for more information about the Winchester Mystery House, as it is called.And yes, the Winchester Mystery House is still standing.
