This house takes the early lead in the ugliest house in my neighborhood competition. I write “lead” but I honestly hope this one takes first prize because it’s butt-ugly and I’d hate to see anything worse. Its roof kind of reminds me of American Googie architecture of the 50’s, places like the Hawthorn Grill or Johnnie’s on Wilshire in Los Angeles. The air-conditioning fans nestled into the inset windows don’t help either.
