It's like a haunted Victorian manse.... only built around a tree. Maybe it's the tree that haunts it?
If you want to visit, it's in Crossville, Tennessee.

The Minister's Treehouse
Deborah sent me a note saying this oddity called the Minister's Treehouse -- an understatement if I've ever heard one -- is about as Steampunk as you can get using only wood. (For the record, I have no problem with "only wood steampunk.")

Wow, that's amazing. And amazingly spooky! Do you think it's safe to walk around in?
I'm glad someone thought to put up a "No Smoking" sign. Heh.
You CAN go inside. There's even a basketball hoop.
Crossville, Tennessee? I'm there! That's right around the corner. Why have I not heard of this place?
What a fantastic place
The air of instability is part of what makes this so spooky/exciting! Like it could collapse--but what treasures might it hold? I love old houses and buildings for that!
This brings up a subject I'm curious about and would like anyone's take on. Would this building be called (from a steampunk view) as post-apocalyptic? Perhaps? The more I see that falls under the label of "steampunk" the more it seems to me that there's two main categories: 1)an alternative future, where all's gone well, just in a different direction, and 2) a post-apocalyptic future where society has rebuilt, using imaginative reconstruction. Is that much too simplistic? Just some thoughts I've been mulling over, what do you think?
