Comment: I live 15 minutes away from Rainbow Road in Wauconda just North of Barrington. I just heard about this Rainbow Road mansion last night as me and some friends met up to go to White Cemetery on Cuba Road. Turns out I’ve driven past the cemetery a million times. Anyhoo, I heard about this old asylum and was really eager to go check it out, after exploring a 140 yr old farm house in Streamwood at Irving Park and Bartlet Rd. I found out that it was ripped down a few years ago. I was disappointed. Actually?? It freakin bothers me, Hahaha. Especially after finding what little I know right now even though this old Rainbow Road House was only 15 Mins away. The whole reason why I got into this conversation with the kid was because I was looking for an old abandoned factory/ university-looking building. It’s a place I saw with a friend while driving to Lake Zurich on Halloween. It was so cool. I saw an old barbed wire gate, had to be on 15 acres… and behind that barbed wire gate was the place. Hundreds of little windows and lots of brick. Definitely abandoned and really really big, but eerily distant and secluded away from the fence. maybe a quarter mile. I am STILL looking for it.
I know a guy my age (24) who knows ALL about this spooky old Rainbow Road house. And we are talking about a Barrington citizen who had witnessed ALL of the stroies and walked through the so called “Corrridor” and the “Sick Feeling” that overcame him when he was in the middle of “The Corridor.”
I Am seeking more info about the Rainbow Road House. I’m really interested in seeing some pictures of the old mansion myself to be honest. ~Sammy Marsala
Response from Scott Markus: I’ll post this on the web site and see if anyone responds. Tell me about the Rainbow Road “corridor” you speak of. This is new to me. What’s the story on the 140-year old house?
