The Mistake House
First known as the "Sample House," this construction mash-up was meant to be a living catalogue of building styles, showcasing a wide variety of materials and styles for builders to reference.

šŸ“œ Built in 1931 at Principia College, this unique structure was designed by architect Bernard R. Maybeck as a reference for various building styles and materials.
šŸ” It features a mix of brick, timber, concrete, and stacked stone walls, with a varied roof, creating a strange, cobbled-together appearance.
