Official Random Cool House Thread

I love perusing real estate ads and architecture sites for cool/quirky/interesting houses. Thread full of pics...

almost bought this one...the seller accepted my offer of 55K on it. house was completely made of stone, with all of the wiring embedded in cement. cement walls, cement floors, cement everything. doesn't do well with Indiana humidity. I backed out when I realized that the walls would have always weeped in the summer...and it would be like a damp, cold castle in the winter.

(the old 911 parked out front during one of my visits)

His A-frame examples were the most prominent although I think all but one now has been destroyed by one of the several hurricanes which devastated the island over the last few decades.

That was a great place to grow up.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.
