. "According to a 2010 article in the San Jose Mercury News, a Martinez couple, Joey and Linda Piscitelli, both general contractors who restore houses for a living, decided to buy Tucker House in 2005. When they started cleaning up the old house, they began to discover various mysteries. When they opened the attic, they found that it had been divided into eight separate cubicles, each containing a mattress. This led them to do further research into the history of the house, revealing the secret of its use as a bordello." (Submitted on March 9, 2020.)
