Trundle Manor

About

Wunderkammer of Local Proportion

Story

Billed as a roadside attraction located in Swissvale Pa., Trundle Manor is one of the few "wunderkammers" in existence on the east coast, and perhaps in the whole country. This fascinating residential artist house is created and curated by Mr.Arm and his lovely girl, Velda Von Minx. The house is open to visitors by appointment only, but available nearly any time of the day.
