House by the sea

From The Dark Shadows Wiki

After the disappearance of Cassandra Collins (547/548), Nicholas Blair asked Roger if there was, perhaps somewhere on the Collinwood estate where he could live, close enough that he could be there if Cassandra returned, but out of the main house so that his continued presence would not be painfully felt (549).

Roger found The House by the Sea, which was close enough to walk to the ocean, Collinwood, or The Old House quickly. The house contained a large drawing room, a cellar (sometimes called the basement), a second floor, and a third floor. A hallway outside the drawing room led to the front door. Whether there were any other outside doors or not is unknown.

In addition to Nicholas, the house also served as a home for Adam, Eve and Angelique. Professor Stokes states that "all the sleeping quarters are on the second floor" and that there are three bedrooms. The master bedroom at the end of the corridor belongs to Nicholas, "it is depressingly overdecorated" (605). Two other bedrooms exist. The one on the right belongs to Eve (as it smells of cologne) and Adam's is on the end.

Stokes mentions the third floor, but says it is only used for storage.

Angelique's coffin was kept in the cellar, where it was discovered by Tom Jennings, who was buried under the floor after he was staked by Julia and Barnabas (630). We learn this in episode (630) when Nicholas digs him up. The cellar can be accessed from either the drawing room or the hallway.

The Mirror was kept in the drawing room until Angelique stole it (622).

It was also referred to as Nicholas' house, and The House by the Ocean.
