    This is a waste of an article. What is the purpose of a list of eccentric homes with cool entrances if you’re not going to show pictures of what the article is about? frakking link farm much? epic fail in my opinion. Did you really think a picture of a singer sewing machine would suffice to pique my interest when talking about the singer mansion..? I mean, good god, not even a picture of the homes themselves… ugh! I think it’s time to unsubscribe from HowStuffWorks as well as HolyKaw!
