Addison Apartments is the apartment complex that Sal and his neighbors lived in. It was built in 1887[2] by the Addison family[3] and was owned and managed by Terrence Addison, the established landlord, from at least 1932 up until his second death in 1999. It was maintained by Lisa Johnson-Fisher[4] up until her similar death in 1999.
History
Many years ago, a young Alyson Rosenberg sold her family's land to the Addison family[3], who began to construct the apartments and expansions to the Phelps Ministry temple and cult[2].
Between 1917 and 1932, Terrence's family was murdered, presumably by his own hand or the Endless One's[5]. From that point forward, he stayed in his room more and more[6], until eventually being completely locked away[5] as he became less and less visually human and fulfilled his destiny as The Endless One.
1987[7][8][9][10] witnessed the murder-suicide of Stacy and Megan Holmes at the hands of a possessed Luke Holmes. Similarly, in 1992[11], a possessed Charley Mansfield murdered Sandy Sanderson. Two years later[12], Terrence Addison opened a small "Addison Tea" tea shop from his room, rather than simply giving out tea as he had been.
In the days leading up to the arrival of Sal Fisher, the Devourers of God ran multiple rituals directly beneath the apartment building in an old temple where they carried out their mission to bring Red Eyes back again[reference?]
The apartment building was going through financial difficulties during Sal's stay, and still had a unfinished renovations on the fifth-floor after the apparently destructive aforementioned Holmes incident.
After the 1999 Mass Murder at Addison Apartments, the complex falls into complete disrepair, covered in a great deal of graffiti, the only legible pieces reading "NO MORE LIES" and "AGONY". It is presumably escheated.
Trivia
- While acting as landlord, Mr. Addison held monthly meetings with the residents. [13]
