Bldg. 118 at Fisher College, originally built and owned by Henry Parsons King and his wife Alice Ormond King, has one of only two free floating marble stair cases in the United States. Henry was the president of Otis Elevator Company in Boston during the mid to late 1800's. Mr. King died at the home and was waked under the staircase. The home was sold to Fisher College in 1939 after Alice King's death in 1938. Based on S.P.I.R.I.T.'s paranormal investigations of the home, Alice and Henry still reside there.
