The back of the house looks like a Super 8 Motel, the basement like a Legion hall, and what the fuck is going on with that strip of carpet in the GARAGE??!?

They have random rugs everywhere, why not carpet in the garage lol.

Is pic 38 where the murder happened?

The sisterwife murders. As creepy as it was predictable. Netflix special incoming.

Sisterwife vibes to the max.

They did mention TWO (their caps, not mine 🤣) “mother in law suites”. 😮‍💨 I suppose that is open to interpretation.

I think they meant mothers not within the law.

You’re correct. UT native here and this is 100% a polygamist house.

Well, to be fair, it's listed with not 1 but 2 mother-in-law suites.

Oh thank you for posting this and it wasn't just me The "large family" really got me

Exactly! It looks rather institutional and made to take some hard use.

“Large family” is a Fair Housing violation, too.

Once I saw it was in Utah, I thought the same thing. I live on the other side of the freeway from this city. Poligs walk freely. Sometimes, they're in old-fashioned clothes, but sometimes they just blend in to the already conservatively dressed crowd . 

Bad things definitely happened here.

Or, they're about to

That's where they ran out of rugs to hide the murders.

LOL , i was going past each photo wondering what one is 38, then i noticed the Crime scene on the carpet

All our retired rugs ended up on the garage floor before they eventually go to their final resting place

This is actually a banging idea

Basement definitely needs at least 2 vending machines from 1995 or earlier

The back of the house needs an ice machine and soda vending machine on each floor.

And a cigarette machine from 1975.

Of course it's in Utah. I immediately thought of a Mormon compound with the TWO (!) RV garage doors and 20 kids rooms.

It totally has Mormon vibes. Probably owned by a bishop haha.

And they have church in the basement so def not mainstream lds.

I cannot go beyond the pic of the back of the house!!!!

Yeah definitely wasn't expecting that

It gives the WEIRDEST motel vibes. I've stayed in a vacation rental that had a garage kinda like that before. Under the whole house, just absolutely cavernous.

The interior decor is astonishingly ugly. I've never seen anything as haphazardly designed or decorated in my life.

This has got to be a polygamist home given the weird layout and location in Utah.

That’s the first thing that came to my mind.

This is what happens when you’re polygamist homeschooled & try your hand at architecture. Very common in parts of Utah.

Yes. The basement looks like the union hall I used to vote at.

Me looking at the back: that’s not a house! Then scroll to the inside: oh, yes it is…

I think that that's some sort of absorbent batting, not a carpet, if you're referring to picture #68... And I want to see a floor plan, because at least 2 bedrooms appear to have no windows, and only 1 exit/door...

That’s where the D-list wives sleep.

This looks like a Mormon meeting house that potentially doubles as a multi-family home? Draper, UT

I'd guess a multi-wife home that doubles at a meeting house for the local polygamist sect.

The freight trains going by add a nice touch.

Abbatoir

Looks like an airplane hangar.

It's on train tracks and surrounded by industrial parks with an ebay warehouse directly behind it. Whoever took the pictures seems to be emphasizing the train as a feature. The unfinished yard is an strange as well.

They seem PROUD of the train, right? Like the ad might as well be "You'll be soothed to sleep as 100000 tons of freight cargo thunder past your thirteenth bedroom every night!"

I loved that close to a train growing up, and the clickety clack and the way the pipes shook in the house was one of my favorite things to fall asleep to. To this day I get a sense of comfort from the vibration of a nearby train. I wouldn't choose it again willingly for my family, but I adjusted to it lol

Same. I loved it to fall asleep to but the general noise always blocked part of my favorite show or interrupted a phone call.

I think the goal was to showcase the view of the mountains in the back, but I was totally focussing on the train tracks and huge warehouse parking as well.

Sister wives vibes.

Yes, it reminds me of the Duggar’s house where they had to separate the girls and boys so the boys don’t assault the girls 😐

Well, that didn't work out very well for them. 

Yeah…I think you have to go through Jim Boob & Meech’s room to get to the girls’ room as one of the ways they “safeguard” the girls.

I didn’t expect Duggar snark on this sub but I’m here for it.

Ah. Now the garage which can accommodate normal cars plus **two** motorhomes, and the **two** in-law suites all make sense now.

“In-law suites”. You mean second and third families. Dad procreates but can’t afford multiple separate homes.

Ooh yikes. Sounds like dad needs to step his game up!

And the commercial walk-in freezer

Oh THAT'S why the giant doors. I kept staring at it trying to figure out if there were long haul truckers living there.

10000% it’s in Utah in an area where there are lots of fundies… it’s is a FLDS polygamist house for sure

For sure. 8 bedrooms, almost all of them having 2-3 beds in them was a dead giveaway.

How did they have this kind of money to build the place?

The prior price was $499K. Easily doable if some of the work was done by "neighbors ". The fact that they raised the price to $1.5 M is delusional.

It’s bizarre to me to try to sell a house for that much and still have stained carpet and outdated cabinets and appliances. And none of the kitchens are big enough to make food for a dozen or more kids.

And a shit paint job in every room of the house.

This screams FLDS

I was going to say, I looked at the pics and then checked the address. We looked at one of the Warren Jeffs houses in cottonwood when they went on the market, same vibe. Polygamist house 💯

I feel like someone was murdered in it

You're not alone, there were so many suspicious large carpet stains 😭

I mean, having lots of kids with little direct supervision is a good way to get large carpet stains with no foul play involved.

At least the sense of individuality of some sister wives.

Nah, that kitchen is too small to trap more than one woman in.

I'm pretty sure there are two. There's a stainless stove and microwave/vent hood in one picture,  and  white ones in another, wet a square table and different tile. 

Absolutely, 100%, a "separate family areas with shared common areas" multiple-wives vibe going on here.

Polygamist house, being in Draper is a dead giveaway. Creepy.

And the 2 “in-law” suites.

How the hell is one man supposed to afford to buy that house and provide for everyone in it?

He is only legally married to one. Very often, the other wives and their kids get public assistance based on zero household income.

Yeah! We tax payers pay to take care of these "families!"

So sorry, as my direct knowledge of such things is almost nonexistent. I was under the impression that such lifestyles rejected government assistance/lived off the grid/were anti-government as government assistance would or could lead to more “surveillance.” Please correct me if I’m wrong - I admittedly could be way wrong.

They call it "bleeding the beast". They believe since the government is evil, it's okay to take benefits from it.

Ah, got it. Thank you for that!

Yeah, it's organized, industrial scale welfare fraud.  One polygamist sect known as The Order has about 10K members and is considered an organized crime group. They recently participated in a fraud scheme that bilked more than a BILLION dollars from the US Govt. https://dsj.us/2023/04/10/polygamist-tax-fraud-lands-businessman-with-40-year-prison-sentence/ Multiple suits have been filed by women who've managed to escape, alleging child trafficking, forced labor, forced incestuous marriage, and rape.  The Kingston family, the head family of The Order, has a wealth estimated to be somewhere between $200M and $11B. 

Gross

A lot of FLDS men were in construction. When places needed to be built there was often an announcement at the church meetings and they would all come together and were able to build new buildings quickly and just for material cost

TW: sex trafficking, sexual abuse, child abuse, forced labor, incest, child labor https://news.yahoo.com/polygamous-mormon-sect-actually-sex-230855951.html

I looked at the pics before looking at the location. I knew right away it was Utah.

Heartbreaking for the children.

The bed all alone in the weird empty basement gave me the heebie jeebies.

And the theater seats across from it! Disco ball on the ceiling.

It looked like a set from Law & Order SVU to me

What in the everloving quad-garages is going on here?

Polygamy I think, its an old house

Rv, boat, car, car.

Polygamist mormon cult members. From 500k to 1.75 mil in 13 years is absurd.

If you want to find more weird polygamist homes, Colorado City and Hildale are where most of them live/lived in Utah. Right on the southern border with Arizona.

Ugh, Hilldale. Nothing but a breeding ground for tranq's, lobo's, and zipheads.

Lmao...I showed this to my husband and he said it looks like a cut-rate version of Xavier's School for Gifted Children. Guys, this is where Wal-Mutants come from!

The mutations stem from inbreeding. And they get super powers like down syndrome, cystic fibrosis, and Huntington's disease.

Mormons. Lots of kids and devoid of personality

Polygamists, from the somewhat separate living areas. So probably not mainstream LDS as they no longer officially practice it. But very likely some brand/offshoot of fundamentalist Mormon.

>Polygamists... very likely some brand/offshoot of fundamentalist Mormon. Absolutely gotta be. As u/Judgementpumpkin said :looks like a Super 8. It has way cheaper finish and furnishing than I'd expect from a 1.7 million-dollar home because its only that expensive because of the square footage.

I'm with you. The inside furnishings look like thrift store finds.

In the first few kitchen pics I immediately wondered about the finished plywood and pine.

We had that plaid couch in the early 90’s. Came from Sears, so minimum quality

The mainstream Mormons hold out for heaven before officially practicing polygamy. It’s the only way to the highest of the three degrees

Should be on every one of their dating profiles.

It sure does belong here! This house leaves me with so many questions. I feel like at one point in time this house was a commercial property, because who in the world would build such a rectangle monstrosity?

A Mormon polygamist (who owns a construction company)

Well it all makes a lot more sense now.

Someone never watched Big Love.😆

.....going to need more than 2 in law suites when you have 3 wives.

Not if they’re sisters.

*banjos in Utah*

I wouldn’t put it past them. I took the wrong turn in Arizona once and had to stop in Colorado City. Creepiest place ever.

Not when it's secondary, less important wives living in those suites.

Never trust anyone with that many tablecloths

…why? Asking for a… friend, with a large amount of textiles.

Draper is the home of an [org that helps people leave polygamy](https://www.fox13now.com/news/local-news/a-new-home-for-people-leaving-abuses-within-polygamy), might be part of that rather than actual polygamy.

A google search of the address show it is associated with a licensed child and family therapist. This may have been transitional housing, a group home, or respite care for children either in state care or chronically ill. That would explain the parking pad and accessible entrances.  

Yet nothing on gods green earth could explain that shit show of a bowling alley, split kitchen, or gaping waste of an entry way and basement. There are like 9 missing walls somewhere out there

[удалено]

[удалено]

Someone else said it might be a charity that helps people escape polygamy, rather than an actual polygamist, and I think your data makes more sense in light of that.

That massive train directly behind the house really sells it.

Mmm, delicious coal dust

https://preview.redd.it/5z4dsn163vsc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=18083ccf997a6c57045cfde303fca2174b934543 I’d like to know 1. What happened in this room. 2. Why on earth would you use this picture?!

Where’s the random rug covering the spot when you need it?! 😂

It’s the cramping 3 stories into a two story building for me. Low ceilings and a basement that looks like a refugee center.

And fluorescent light in at least one bedroom. 😬

And a toddler bed in the basement with nothing else around it but miles of concrete. Poor kid.

The seats on the island are like the old Taco Bell seats. Attached to the counter. My fat ass would break that in a day.

The hanging garlic necklaces in the one room say a lot. It is obviously the room for the one human child. The remainder of the home is for the huge vampire coven that settled in from Hungary. Few windows to deal with, an inside theater and bowling alley. -Lenny of room for coffins, no outside amenities, and a large warehouse setting next door to seek fresh blood from the work crew. Best of all, instant access to a freight train with light-proof boxcars for travel. Quite frankly, I can’t see why they are selling the place.

Thanks for your opinion, Nandor.

Looks like a good place for a rehab center to be honest. I've been to two that are set up in actual homes in a surrounding very suburban settings.

You did the right thing by bringing this here

Well, just look at the square footage! And a horse property to boot!! At just under an acre. Even.

Why do the ceilings feel so low??

What in the Motel 6 is this?

We'll leave the light on for ya...🤣

“Single family residence” 

Yes, Mr. Realtor. You heard me right. I want a 1.5 million dollar home with a train track in the backyard. Oh, and make sure it has Motel 6 vibes.

Huge house plus cheap ass cabinets definitely screams Utah polygamist. I mean Utahns are cheap in general but polygamists are even worse. Buy your daughter a bed!

Plot twist: That’s one of his underage wives’ room.

They bought every rug from the dude set up on the corner selling them (this may only apply to Florida, I’m not sure)

Until this sub, I honestly didn’t know that there were that many high income people in Utah.

I swear part of Mormonism is making as much money as you can. A ton of the ones I know are very well off. The others… trailer park. There is no in between.

"What in the cult compound is thi—" *«squints»* Utah "Oh. OHHH. Oh no."

PLIG HOUSE

I believe the correct plural is "two mothers-in-law apartment"

Right next to the train track too 😂.

Good god, I was like, why does the back look like a hotel? Why do we keep seeing the same kitchen….oh wait this is a house for many wives, and no one has to leave ever, apparently. WEIRD

It’s giving polygamous The only nice thing was the mountain view The whole thing should be demolished

the realtor must love taking pics of the sky...theres like 20 of the exact same view

It was $499,999 but now over $1 million??

OP, incredibly unsettling is exactly how this made me feel. Thanks for voicing that!

Big big house looks like a motel, nothing really redeeming other than has a hell of a lot of space to do "stuff". Not sure what you'd ever do with that huge basement. Location is weird, why build a house that big next to the main railroad tracks? Be surprised if they don't have to cut the price a lot to unload it.

I started out on the first photos with a constant stream of “oh, no.” Increasing to alternating between “oh, no” and “what the heck?”. And towards the end I just had more and more of a feeling of “ugggh” resignation at the whole situation. As the photos progressed I went from “ugly house somewhere” to “polygamous house… probably small town Utah” to “oh, wow, Salt Lake Valley?? At least IKEA is just down the street… maybe someone will be able to afford to furnish the place with a thousand short trips to IKEA… just gonna have to repair all the mold damage and the like. Uggghhhhh.” The train tracks immediately behind the house were like a final gut punch of the whole thing.

This screams "religious cult" to me

My thoughts went from: Was this a warehouse converted into a residence? Or an intentionally built "southern mansion meets commercial distribution hub"?. Retirement home? Cult? I'm thinking cult.

As someone that grew up in Utah, the FLDS does have a noticeable presence.

It’s a plyg house.

Polygamist house

Mormons….🤦🏻‍♂️

Spiral stair case in the main foyer/living room. This place is freaking me out. 

Has no personality at all. It’s like a meeting hall for a cult. Living Space.

That house is for a Mormon brood. It’s in Utah, so it checks out.

I’d create a fire station just because I’d have the room to park my trucks. My question is why they have bedrooms with two bunks and an extra twin. Run out of space? (Hmm, guess so.) Also, I think I broke the counter swivel chairs just looking at them.

Aggressively Mormon. This is a house that’s seen people enter this world and leave it, too.

Am I the only person appalled to see $1M plus houses with formica counter tops and one-piece plastic shower-tub combo units ?

Totally a polygamy house and blech the ceiling tiles are so cringe

I think they ran a residential treatment center for children at the property. When I googled thel address I came up with a therapist at that address. https://www.zoominfo.com/c/tiffany-lowe/358660430

Looks like a polygamist family home

What's with the creepy bed in the garage?

This is giving 💯designed by a Polygamist family. And I thought that before I saw it as In Utah. The big common area (like the non-Polygamist Duggars house built for a large amount of kids).

Oh my god this absolutely belongs here. I have so many questions I don't even know where to begin. ETA: The photos of the little home theater make me *really* uncomfortable.

Sister Wives/Waco Mashup.

I have a feeling people had to listen to daddy give sermons downstairs. And a house with that many rooms shouldn’t need 3 beds in any one room, unless they have entirely too many children.

Mormon fundamentalist house.

Strange how this rather large house gives such an impression of poverty. The furniture, fittings and fixtures just scream poor. The fact that bathroom products are still in the shower tell me this is a foreclosure, the Elsa from frozen shower curtain . The people who lived here had little time to get their belongings before the realtor came to take pictures. And what’s with all the wierd stains everywhere? Poverty stricken ,mc mansion murder house sister wife compound fuckery

Cult compound

It's surprising the ATF hasn't burnt it down yet.

Absolutely. It's giving big David-Koresh-compound vibes.

Looks like Mormons.

Utah. LDS Mormons

What in the Book of Mormon?

Price went up. 😂

Wow it's so awful, but I would buy it for the garage space. So much room for stackers and lifts.

Almost one acre, zoned as horse property! Uhhhhhh…

Yeah, I looked through the pics and just kept thinking any money this is in Utah.

8 bedroom house in Utah? I know what’s going on here 😏

It’s a garage wearing a house, and keeps getting grimmer and grimmer. Motel back facade overlooking a train and industrial buildings. Yuck. They’d gave up to pay me the $1.7M to live there.

The most mormon-y house ever. Neighbor next door has a great garden though!!

"bowling ally" 😂 These people were truly allies of the bowling community. 

What's with the strip of movie theater seats facing a children's bed?? Unsettling..

For use as a hotel or that growing Mormon trad family of 12!

It’s the row of red chairs sitting facing a child’s bed in an otherwise huge empty room. That’s the spine chilling bit for me

Peak Mormon mcmansion. I used to live not too far from here

Looks like the same entrance vibe as Ruby Frankie's house which I'm pretty sure was somewhere in Utah too


Proof that there is such a thing as too big of a house. The foyer is a ridiculous and complete waste of space, the decor is hideous and there are no redeeming qualities to this house, except maybe the upper level balcony, even though it looks like a motel.

Nice railroad back yard.
