So that's What They Mean by "Ugly House"

I'm sure there are entire websites devoted solely to photos of ugly houses, but I think I've found the house that wins the prize:


I'm not sure what happened here. It looks as though it was a two-and-a-half story imitation Tudor house, probably built in the early 20th century.


Then someone came along in the 1970s and replaced the windows with casement vinyl, stuccoed the first floor into prison-style concrete, and then wrapped the second floor in a mansard rooflet... maybe to cover up the rest of the mistakes.

Wow.

(This house is in St. Paul.)
