With treetop views of Armchair and the mighty Wedge its a Tolkanyn fantasy with the magnificent front doors branch fingers and a week could be spent and all the
Details not seen. Parties there were crazy acid fests. Also in Emerald is the Tram House with a couch you ride backwards with to the top 200′ above the garage area. Views again over Green Lake, Armchair, Wedge with rises in only 2 elevation changed from Billy Goat Lake @ 2000′ to 9700′ . Skiing is the if you fall you die in the BodyBag Bowl style on Blackcomb which a Japanese photog sadly found out filming North America’s Sudan Syvain( who he personally brought to Blackcomb) Peter Crzanowski . He was not on skiis even

I have one you might add to your list of oddball houses, that would be the glass house on the East side of Kootenay Lake near the hamlet of Boswell. Not sure of the details, but it was constructed by a mortician, early on in the 1900’s, out of numerous formaldehyde bottles. It has become quite a tourist attraction over the years for those passing through the area.

There is also another skinny house, 8′ wide on Old West Saanich Road – just down the street from the rotating house

I fell in love with the hobbit house in 1981, when I first noticed it while driving about with my boyfriend. (now my hubby) I screeched when I first saw it, and said it was mine! LOL Now it’s rather famous so I think it’s weird that I loved it so much and am glad it’s saved. There’s a weird house with a turret near my street, near the Joyce Skytrain station…it’s at the end of Ann street near the ravine. It was built in the 1980’s I think. There are so many unique styles here in Vancouver.

It was built on land between 2 other houses. I saw it many times because I would take all my friends to see it -I just can’t recall exactly where it was and unfortunately it’s easily missed because it was behind a tree. I think the last time I saw it was in the mid 1980s.

Can’t remember the exact location but you’d have to get out of your car to see it because it was hidden behind a tree. It was around west 14th-15th between Camosun and Alma.
