They said it was a two story house…
Only two? I’m sure there’s plenty of Narnia type fictions I can’t think of right now.
That’s another story!
Is this in the Hearst Mansion?
Could be. Or maybe in the Winchester House?
Dammit, that’s what I was thinking of! Scary as Hell, I’m told.
It’s not the Winchester House, but very simular to it…
the bridge to nowhere’s ugly twin.
You have reached the twelfth step. There’s nowhere to go but back down.
Crap, ok, now I have to denounce my acceptance of behavior, offend my friends, family and neighbors. and finally denounce god; before going back to drinking?
Should be a snap!
It’s a stairway to platform 9 and three quarters!
My old theatre had something similar. We also had a door on the third floor that opened into the air above the alleyway.
I’ve seen a exterior door opening into air, and an exterior stairway leading to a wall. In the same dorm quad.
Misplaced door?
yeah, at this swiiming pool place theres a door like halfway up a wall. i gave my friend a leg up to try and open it but its locked or something cos the handle just kept turning round. srsly its like 5 feet off the ground.
They might have been used to haul heavy items straight into the building, rather than being bounced around going up the stairs. Sometimes they just built an access door to transport valuable items into a particular floor.
BWAAAHAHAHAHA
All staired up and no place to go.
*end of guitar solo*
And we’re kludging a stairway, to nowhere.
Comment WIN!
Second this…Agreed! Comment win!
+1
Those stairs look like they have terrazo on the runners. Some guy put his heart into making those stairs look good, dammitt!
Stairway to heaven? You were so close. That’s on the OTHER side of town. This is the stairway to an interior wall. Yeah. They WERE going to write the song about THIS staircase, I’m not sure why they didn’t….
I’ve seen this sort of thing in two-story houses that were converted into two apartments. Wall off the top of the stairway, and add an external stairway for the upper unit.
Agreed — Closed off for apartments is my guess.
It’s a kitty climbing jungle. The rail is for when humans have to rescue kitties afraid to come down.
Those stairs don’t make any sense at all. Apart from the weirdness of the steps, why would anyone put in an angled handrail, fixed to the supposed blocking panel, to assist you – nowhere?
The stairs look like they turn 90 degrees to the right over the course of like 5 steps instead of having a landing and a 90 degree turn. Like a spiral staircase built in a square fashion. The handrail is on the existing wall it looks like, and the new wall is the one running parallel with our line of sight on the right hand side. Not the back wall in the dead center of the photo.

As for WTF is the reason behind it? I dunno! Insanity?
Thankyou, it was driving my eyes crazy. Yes, I think you are right, and once you have seen it the back wall ceases to look so much like a crude photoshop patch. You can even see the vague edge of the corner on the right wall. Still stupid.
Stairway…DENIED!
This is the result when the Children never wish to return to Narina
Phail on my part, I meant Narnia
Well, after they meet ‘Twilight’, they’ll want to go back!
Welcome to the neighborhood. Here are your keys. There’s no second floor, and if you hear anything tonight? IGNORE IT.
Oh, excellent! This reminds me a kludge that has bugged me for YEARS in my neighborhood. It involves a staircase and when I heard the backstory of it, I was like “…” As in, no, really, tell me the -real- story. But that was IT.
Meanwhile I would have been so fascinated by dead-end stairs as a child. Imagine what’s on the other side!
D@mned oompa-loompas. Mr. Wonka’s not going to like this.
It’s an optical confusion
Sweet! Now I have places for all of my Hummel figurines!
**singing in my best Robert Plant voice**
There’s a lady who’s sure
All that glitters is gold
And she’s buying a stairway to nowhere
It’s the “Stairway to Heaven” as done by Spinal Tap…
This is the staircase in the Kool-aid Man’s house.
What are you stairing at?
it’s Sherlock Holmes’s last case…the case of the vanishing second floor…
I think that was the Hardy Boys.
You know how at christmas you just have to know whats in the presents? Thats how I feel about that wall.
Someone, give me a sludgehammer, stat!
Much as I hate to admit this I have one of these in my home. In the course of some major remodeling I decided to put a full wall up where there once was a set of stairs. It wasn’ like those were the only stairsto go up or down with so why not. I haven’t removed the stairs yet since I haven’t really torn into that area yet.
Bathroom? Sure, just take a right at the top of the stairs.
You 3D creatures are pitiful. Just a simple stairway in 11 dimensions and here you are all hee hee hah hah I wonder what that is, I wonder who did that.
It’s not the stairs lead nowhere, but it’s that the walls are slowly expanding.
where do they lead?
No, you don’t understand. This feature was built specifically for slinkies and slinky cats (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T75s2RBQhSM).
When remodeling, use MC Escher-brand drywall.
No stairway to heaven for you!
This is going to be a problem for those who get hammered!
I’d paint in a door at the top just to confuse people even more.
Ha ha ha ha! I was just going to come on here and suggest that they put an old door on the wall just to freak people out myself. It would be even funnier if they could find those shaved bricks or brick wallpaper so you opened it to a “brick wall”. I could have all sorts of fun!
There’s the Stairway to Heaven, and then there’s the Stairway to Headache (when your not lookin!)
M.C. Escher would be jealous…
For all those who made stairway to heaven references, this is obviously a stairway to heaven for atheists.
I just can’t seem to contemplate what this is supposed to be. It doesn’t look like a cludge, it looks like some idiot built a lopsided stairway into a corner. Or someone built a wall onto the stairs…
i took this picture under a bank after a renovation
nowadays there is a shopping center. the stairs just didn’t lead anywhere, don’t really understand why they did leave it like this..
Maybe we should hold a “What’s at the top of the stairs” photoshop contest!
Very much similar to Winchester manor.
narnia!!!!(bang thump thump thump thump thump)what hapened to thegod dam door
Like the hallway from Alice in Wonderland this is the Stairway from Contracter in Bankrupcy Court…
horrible photoshopping, or editing of w/e kind that was, not very good
Didn’t I just see sliinky cat… Dejavu… no Wait…. THERE HAS BEEN A CHANGE IN THE MATRIX !!! Quick everyone up the stairs to the hardline!! Whoa…
I disbelieve!
Mr. Tumnus decided enough was enough and brought some Narnian contractors in to wall up the entrance so those Pevensie kids would stop bothering him.
Sarah Palin’s glass ceiling.
Wait, no, it is just a device used to confuse Slinkys.
The budget Stairway to Heaven.
Apparently, Tevia became a rich man.
In case of emergency, the exits are here, here, and… um… oh, crap.
(M C Escher ) Oh shit they found my stash
Well, being my name is Winchester… so, naturally, I thought this HAD to have been the Winchester mansion!!! But, I know that there are other places like that, and other places that have them boarded up or whatever. Bad remodel. ‘Nuff said.
