As I was exploring my new town, I encountered a very unusual structure sitting up on the hill. It kinda looks like one those old fire towers, or an air traffic control tower. It's just sitting out there on a hill miles from any big forrest or airport. It looks like it was made out of tin siding and lanscaping poles. It is pretty tall. I'd guess about 60 feet or so. It looks about the same size as Nazi Jesus. I know that ugly is subjective, but I think it's darn ugly.

So, I asked around and found out that it's called The Keenan Tower House. A famous architect by the name of Marlon Blackwell designed it. As a house it's actually tiny. The living space is much like a studio apartment. My apartment is probably bigger. There's an open to the sky patio on the roof. It's an impressive structure despite it's fugliness. You know, if they rented it out by the night, I'd totally rent it for a special occasion.

I think it was supposed to look kind of like a grain elevator, but to me it looks like a guard tower.

Last year I saw a TV show on a cable network about unusual houses, and it featured this house. They talked with the owners and showed all aspects of the house. Yes, it is tiny. And very windy.

I'd bet it's scary to be up there during a big thunderstorm!

I think it's cool.

I just wanna pee off the top of it....

I wanna take a couple goats to the top floor and let them look out the window.

I like the picture, though.
