The house is actually a much smaller version of the mansard-roofed Victorian mansion that was once dubbed the house of the Bates family the 1960 thriller "Pyscho" by Alfred Hitchcock.
According to the New York Times, Parker designed the Psycho House with the movie "Psycho" in mind, as well as the American architectural emblem a Dutch red barn. The Psycho House boasts deep red sidings, whitewashed posts, wood floors and corrugated steel roofing that was saved from a barn that was previously demolished.
Meanwhile, someone from the museum explained why they decided to include the Psycho House on top of their location. According to the staff, the house is meant to "flicker between the physical reality of the barn and the cinematic fiction of the house, bringing up their respective ties to comfort and discomfort.
