Re: Would You Buy a Famous House?

I never saw the show, and have no interest in it's subject matter. Given the fact that crazy tourists are showing up though I'd pass just because I wouldn't want to deal with them.

Re: Would You Buy a Famous House?

Absolutely, but I'm not super wealthy, which you usually need to be to buy a famous house - unless it's a murder house.

 

If I had pools of money, I'd buy Bob Hope's old house:

Bob Hope's California mansion, designed by John Lautner, at night

 

 

 

Or Lloyd Wright's Sowden House:

Or John Lautner's Chemosphere house, which has been inn a few movies:

Re: Would You Buy a Famous House?

Clearly, someone would have to have a pretty "thick skin" to live in a notorious/infamous house.  I know I much prefer my privacy.  Although the Pinkman house is gorgeous!
