Peter and Patty Findlay own what's undoubtedly the strangest house in
Aspen, Colo.: a multilevel home shaped like a giant mushroom. The
mind-altering abode, built in the 1970s
by architect Andre Ulrych while he was supposedly under the influence
of one or more hallucinogens, is designed in the shape of a nautilus
shell, and, according to Patty Findlay, "There's always two to three
ways out of every space." (Drug-induced paranoia, perhaps?) Andy Warhol
once visited the Magic Mushroom House, and Hugh Hefner threw a pajama
party here (we'd need to be on 'shrooms to be a part of that). If you
think you've seen this fungal funhouse before, you're not having a
flashback: The New York Times published an article about it in 2009.
