[[George Daynor]]'s '''Palace of Depression''' was located in [[Vineland, New Jersey]]. Built by the eccentric and mustached George Daynor, a former Alaska gold miner who lost his fortune in the [[Wall Street Crash of 1929]], this amusement was known as "The Strangest House in the World" or the "Home of Junk." and was built as a testament of willpower against the effects of [[The Great Depression]].

George Daynor claims that he was guided to New Jersey by an angel, whom provided the design for the palace. Completed on Christmas Day 1932, the palace was built on four acres which cost him four dollars. Daynor quotes that his palace was "the greatest piece of originality ever brought about in the history of Man.". He would charge 25 cents for a tour.
