"Pickle-Barrel House" in Michigan, USA

haha wow!! This is called the "Pickle-Barrel House" because of the fact that it resembles a giant pickle barrel! It is located in Grand Marais, Michigan USA and was originally built in 1926 by the Pioneer Cooperation Company as a summer home for the cartoonist William Donahey. He was also the creater of the Chicago Tribune newspaper's famous "Teenie Weeine" cartoon strip and drew advertisements for the pickle sellers Reid-Murdock & Co., who sold their pickles in small barrels that looked just like this house. In 2003, this barrel house was bought by the Grand Marais Historical Society and was soon after listed on the National Register of Historic Places and it is currently open to the public! Would you want to live inside a giant pickle barrel?
