The library in the house alone holds more magical marvels than any other occult holdings on the planet, and it’s where Doctor Strange goes to study, research, and sometimes only observe the forces he wields.īeyond all this, the Sanctum Sanctorum exists as the focal point for Strange’s adventures and a balm for his weary soul once they reach their end. From the lowest point in its basements to the glorious Seal of Vishanti window at its highest level, the Sanctum’s inner architecture rearranges itself to suit the needs of its master, yet also perhaps other intangible necessities. Inside, the house changes almost constantly, due to the sheer weight of the magic that suffuses it. Regardless, the Sanctum Sanctorum seems a part of its Greenwich Village surroundings to passersby, innocent people with no idea of what its walls really contain. Legends tell of the land it rests upon as witnessing mystic Native American rituals and mass graves, but the truth of it may never fully be known.

The house sits quietly, at least from outward appearances, at 1774 Bleeker Street, but from the time of its debut-along with its owner-in STRANGE TALES #110, it exists as part fact and part fiction.
