The ficticious world of Marvel comic heros
Welcome to the world of Marvel comic fiction. The Avengers mansion is a ficticious place which is part of the Marvel
comic stories.
We are talking about the comic Avengers here, not the original BBC TV series !
It is a three-story townhouse located at 890 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. Built in 1932 by industrialist
Howard Stark as his Manhattan residence, the mansion was donated to the Avengers.
Over the years the Avengers mansion has been
extensively re-modeled to accommodate the Avengers' special needs. The most significant exterior change occurred about
a year after the Avengers moved in when Thor and Iron Man pushed the mansion about 35 feet back from Fifth Avenue
in order to give the structure the privacy afforded by a front yard.
The Avengers mansion below ground sub-structure, part of Howard
Stark's original construction, was expanded by the Avengers to encompass the full limits of the block-wide property.
The below ground levels of the mansion contain the top-security headquarters and computer
intelligence systems. While the above ground levels contain living quarters and a main floor in which all public
functions of the Avengers are conducted.

The end of the Avengers mansion
The Mansion was surrounded by a wall twelve feet high and one foot thick, as well as an array of high-tech security
defenses. Nonetheless, those defenses were often breached by the supervillains faced by the Avengers.
In the "Avengers Disassembled" storyline, the Scarlet Witch was responsible for its destruction and in Avengers
Finale (January 2005), Stark decided that with his dwindling assets, he could no longer afford to maintain the
building and it was abandoned in its derelict state, left as a memorial to the Avengers who had died.
The Avengers
have relocated to Stark Tower, although it is unknown how permanent this move will be.
