Singer Salvage Yard
Mi casa es su casa. Maybe you want to just go upstairs. TV's broken, but there's plenty of Reader's Digest. Just don't touch the decor, okay? Assume it's all loaded.
– Bobby to Lisa and Ben Braeden, 6.01 Exile on Main St.
Singer Salvage Yard (also known as Singer Auto Self Service Salvage Yard), located in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, is owned by Bobby Singer. The street address is unclear but A plaque above the porch gives the address as 2194 [1]. Bobby has lived in the house since he was a child.
The property consists of several acres covered in stacked, wrecked cars, Bobby’s house, and outbuildings. Trees and a wooden fence ring the area. The three remaining Horsemen's Rings may be buried in the yard, and the body of his father Ed Singer whom he killed, is buried behind the woodshed.
The set for Bobby's place (in 1.21 Salvation) had around five to six thousand books. "All over the place in stacks, waist-high in books. the entire set. Up the stairs, even. Everywhere you looked there were stacks of books. Books, books, books."
– Set Decorator George Neumann, Supernatural: The Official Companion Season 1
Bobby’s house has a ground floor, an upper story, and a basement. The main entrance opens into a short entrance hall that leads to the ground floor living room; there is also a basement entrance to the house. Bobby has lived in this house most of his life.[2]
- For floor plans see Bobby Singer's House Floorplan.
The living room is filled with bookcases containing a library of monster and demon related books, including the Key of Solomon. More books are stacked on the floor, and papers are pinned to the walls between the large, curtained windows. A red sofa can be seen against one wall. The dark red patterned wall paper is decorated with a few landscape paintings. Bobby’s desk occupies a position in front of the living room fireplace. A magnifying swing arm lamp is attached to the desk. Also on the ground floor are a large wooden staircase leading to the second floor, a hall closet, and a kitchen.
When we built Bobby's we gave it really detailed moldings and rich woodwork. There's custom made wallpaper from New York, we have a wonderful fireplace and we have great furniture in there, but you can't usually see it because it's all cluttered.
– Jerry Wanek, Supernatural: The Official Companion Season 5
The kitchen, just off the living room through pocket sliding doors, has a table, white cabinets and free standing cupboards. It has green patterned wall paper, and has white shuttered windows. When Bobby was a boy, the kitchen had dark wood cabinets and doors, but they have since been painted.[2] There is a small, 1960’s era white refrigerator and a matching stove. The knife drawer contains a false bottom, concealing hemlock, opium, wormwood, and other herbs.[3] In 6.15 The French Mistake, Balthazar finds a jar of lamb's blood in the fridge, and vertebra of lesser saint in the desk drawer. "Your Mr Singer does keep a beautiful pantry", he comments.
Another desk and bookcase are also on one side of the kitchen. Bobby has a wall of at least five cordless phones in the kitchen, each labeled with a different government agency and alias.
The upper story of the house consists of rooms branching off a sconce lit hallway. At least one is a bedroom [2]. At one end of the hall is an array of stained glass windows. During the year he was paralyzed, Bobby slept downstairs in the living room.
The basement is an unfinished storage space except for a large ghost and demon proof panic room, which Bobby built on “a weekend off.” Over time, Bobby has made other modifications to the house. Sometime after 5.15 Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid, Bobby placed a trap door in front of the hall closet that can be triggered by a lever inside the closet. The trap door opens into the basement, which he equipped with a steel core door and titanium kick plate.
In 7.02 Hello, Cruel World a leviathan - Edgar burns the house down.
In 8.23 Sacrifice Sam and Dean return to the salvage yard to make a deal with Crowley and find it somewhat overgrown with Bobby's Car left rusting among the other cars after his death.
In 13.22 Exodus, the Winchesters travel to the Apocalypse World version of the Salvage Yard. While it has a somewhat similar outer setup and the same name, it is not located in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. When this is commented upon, the alternate Bobby tells the Winchesters that their Bobby must enjoy the cold a lot more than he does.
