Rowan described Buffalo Bill’s House as a “boutique accommodation” that will create lasting memories for fans of the Oscar-winning horror film. Meals will not be provided at this time; however, the house has a functional kitchen.
Rowan bought the famous 8 Circle Street home in Perry Township Fay, Penn. for $ 290,000, according to real estate sales data aggregated by Zillow. He plans to use his experience as an art director and stylist on film sets to turn the house into a cinematic experience that offers guided tours for fans or filming opportunities for professionals.
Future plans for the property include recreated scenarios from “The Silence of the Lambs”, such as Buffalo Bill’s workshop, the well where he arrested the victims and other identifiable scenes filled with objects for photos.
