Upside Down

The most unusual building in Lee Vining, California has to be the Upside Down House. It was built by silent film actress Nellie Bly O’Bryan (1893-1984) who lived in the area. It’s actually kind of a shack but it’s cool to take a peek inside. All of the furnishings are nailed to the floor which is actually up (the ceiling is down). This being Planet Earth, Ms. O’Bryan needed an assist to defeat gravity. One other fun touch: the plaque on the outside is upside down so you have to stand on your head to read it.

It’s right off U.S. 395, so check it out if you’re traveling through.
