“BOULDERDASH”…. or the actual “Mushroom House”
“Boulderdash” or the actual “Mushroom House” I cannot tell you how many times I get asked during our 45 min. tour of why on earth all these houses are called “Mushroom Houses?!” When the tour starts out and for most of the first half, they simply look like fairy-tale houses and Gnome Homes no doubt…… but a “Mushroom House”? What’s the reason they want to know?! It’s simple I say, and if you can hang on a bit longer….the 2nd to last house we see will explain everything. As we make our descent down Clinton street and turn left onto Grant….all becomes clear, like a beacon in the dark. I like to tell everyone that in my opinion….this is Earl Young’s most famous house and voila…the reason we call these Mushroom Houses. Keep in mind one thing……..Earl Young NEVER called…
