Does anyone have any information about this home? Beautiful folk art installation in Florida, but I don’t have any other details and would love to hear how this came to be. The sunlight must get got reflecting off that facade!

The Longaberger Company is maker of handcrafted baskets and offers other home and lifestyle products, including pottery, wrought iron, fabric accessories and specialty foods. The company is based in Newark, Ohio, and there are approximately 45,000 independent Home Consultants located in all U.S. states who sell Longaberger products directly to customers.

They have the coolest Home Office in the world, shaped like the baskets they sell!

Features of the “Home Office”:

Offices are situated around a seven-story, 30,000 sq. ft atrium where employees and guests can enjoy the natural daylight from the skylight.

Two basket handles are attached to the building with replica copper and wooden rivets.

The handles are heated to prevent ice from forming.

Two Longaberger tags are attached to the sides of the building. The gold leaf painted tags are 725 lbs each and measure 25′ long x 7′ tall x 3″ thick.

OH Warren – Elm Road Drive-In Theatre, originally uploaded by scottamus.

Oh wow, what an awesome sign spotted in Warren, Ohio. And those films aren’t more than a couple years old, so I’m hoping this sign is still there. Great colors, “modern” design. I’m just praying they realize how cool this sign is and the owners preserve this, even if the drive-in goes away.

Look at the roof line in this house! What an awesome swoop, part Googie, part Jetsons. And the brick/stone work is awesome. If anyone has any information about this home, please let us know!
