I drove past this place yesterday, and though I think I've seen it before, it was obvious that this was my picture for the day.
Methinks somebody read a little too much Mark Twain growing up, and then decided to be an architect. The windows are portholes. WITH bars on them--personally, I think you could ditch that feature. Dude, if anybody could even FIT through that tiny round space to get into your house, they'd deserve whatever they came to steal. God knows the residents must not be getting much light as it is, without adding the extra hardware.
I tried Googling this place before I posted, but amazingly, found nothing. I put in "boat," "house," "weird," "architecture," "los angeles," "silverlake," and the names of the streets on whose corner it is. Nuthin'. Somebody has to have said something about this place previously, and darn it, I want some history.
But for now, I guess we'll just have to settle for looking at it, and pretending we're at Tom Sawyer's island at Disneyland.
All aboard.
