Butlin’s Crazy House
Consider the Crazy House once to be found in Felixstowe, UK.
These old postcard images come from the Flickr set of a fellow who uses the handle Photoaf.
The house was part of a Butlin's Amusement Park. For the history of the founder, Billy Butlin, eventually knighted for his recreational achievements, visit here.
Wouldn't you have loved to experience this park during its heyday, some seventy years ago?

He got knighted for building an amusement park? Geez they're handing out titles over there like we do welfare checks!
You want one? Why do you deserve it? No good reason? Okay, take it anyway.

My dream house! I have always dreamed of a house that would reflect the turns of my mind and at last I have found it!

Wouldn't it have been awesome to take a friend who's falling-down drunk to this place? (Assuming you didn't have to clean up after.)

That's pretty astonishing, Chris. Thanks for the update!
