Larry B did a fantastic job describing the house. It looks like someone is maintaining the house since the pipes are new and through one of the rustic holes, you can see repairing equipment. If you are in Galveston, it is pretty cool to check it out.

In this issue of Ripley’s Believe It or Not: A man lived in a Kettle. Some even claim the Kettle’s chimney would whistle, like a steam kettle, when the fireplace was lit.(This is April 1, but not an April Fools entry.) Nursery rhyme(adapted from ‘Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe’): There was an old man who lived in a kettle, true He had so many tourists, he didn’t know what to do; So, he kept his secrets and then he fled; Now everyone passes and shakes their head. You can see the Kettle House in 3D on Internet and rotate it: This place looks like it came from a fairy tale, such as Paul Bunyan’s outdoor BBQ grill. If you drive towards Pirates Beach, you can’t miss it. Supposedly, it was designed to be a convenient store, but it never opened as such. Maybe he was concerned about … steeling? No one has lived there for over a decade, but the property is maintained. No one has made public what it looks like inside. The owner is very private. The man with no name. Hmmm. «Clint»? Unconfirmed accounts from locals say this construction was built in the 1950’s by a man who built steel storage tanks for oil companies. Perhaps he salvaged an old spherical tank or silo to build the house. Perhaps all that is left from a silo at that location? Was it designed to float during a flood? Well, it didn’t during Hurricane Ike. The Public-Owned Towers lobby(POT) says Galveston should take it away, because visitors disturb the neighborhood. But that’s like the POT calling the Kettle black. I wonder why he doesn’t sell refrigerator magnets?
