Description
Gorey collects all kinds of things; some of them dump objects found on the side of the road. He arranged and displayed such items on the veranda and in the rooms of the house. He also has a large collection of books and libraries overflowing.
The Elephant House is also famous for its large southern magnolia tree in its yard, a species not usually found in the north.
