Tucked among the changing skyline of Reno is a house that’s refused to stay in one place—literally. The Borland–Clifford House, a striking example of Carpenter Gothic architecture, has not only weathered the passing of centuries but has also done something most homes never dream of: it’s moved—not once, not twice, but multiple times. Built in 1885, this ornate wooden beauty originally stood in the heart of Reno’s once-prosperous residential corridor. With its steep gables, po

In the middle of Narragansett Bay, where waves crash and gulls circle in the salt air, there rises a house that looks like it was set down by some giant hand upon a boulder. Locals call it simply the house on a rock—and once you see it, the name needs no explanation. This is Clingstone, one of Rhode Island’s most unusual homes, a structure as rugged as the granite outcrop it clings to and as graceful as the sea that surrounds it. Clingstone was built in 1905 by industrialist

Some homes look like they were drawn by hand. This one looks like it was dreamed.  Tucked between pines and winding roads in Eliot, Maine, just miles from the salty edge of the Atlantic, there’s a house that doesn’t fit the mold—because it was never meant to.  Curved like a hillside, wrapped in weathered cedar shingles and whimsy, the so-called Hobbit House  doesn’t rise so much as it emerges —as if it simply grew out of the ground when no one was looking. It’s not a replica.

On a quiet street in Harbor Springs, tucked between tall pines and the cold breath of Lake Michigan, stands a house with six sides, no corners, and more history than square footage. It doesn’t shout for attention. But it gets it anyway. This is the Shay Hexagon House—a private residence built in 1888 by Ephraim Shay , the mechanical mind behind the famous Shay locomotive. A man of industry. A man of invention. A man who believed that if something could be done differently—it

In the quiet town of St. Francisville, Louisiana, beneath a canopy of moss-draped oaks, sits a house wrapped in legend. Built in 1796, The Myrtles Plantation is graceful on the outside—white columns, deep verandas, hand-carved details. But inside, it carries something deeper. Something unsettled. This isn’t just a historic home—it’s one of the most haunted places in America. The most enduring tale is that of Chloe, an enslaved woman said to have poisoned the family’s children

The H.P. Sutton House isn’t merely a residence—it’s one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s rarest Prairie School designs, and the only Wright home ever built in Nebraska. Commissioned by Eliza Sutton in the early 1900s and completed in 1908, the house still stands as both a functional family home and an enduring work of architectural art. From the outside, the home is all clean lines and low profiles—horizontal planes extending outward like wings, echoing the vast prairie horizon. Wide
