Gold Pyramid House, Wadsworth, Illinois. Built by the Onan family in 1980, heavily damaged by fire in 2018. The property also has a 50-foot statue of King Tut, a metal palm tree, and a four car garage topped by three smaller pyramids.
I guess if your name was Onan you would not mind spashing out on your home.

That’s a 4 car garage?? Adds a bit of needed scale to it.

Too much craziness to fit in the title here. The owners believe that " a true pyramid produces polarized signals that inexplicably create a form of electrical power reported to cause unique effects on the surrounding environment and provide amazing health benefits". They also claim that once construction of the pyramid finished, a massive spring began to unexplainably flow from the center. Bottles of that water- and vodka made from it- are available for sale on Their website

I drove by this thing all the time as a kid and never knew it was a house. I thought it was a museum or something.

I too drove by this all the time as a kid. I lived right down the road from it. It was their house but I think it was also open for tours?

This dude builds a pyramid for a house. Then decides to release a bottled water espousing the mystical benefits of the ancient pyramids and their positive effects on the Egyptian’s water source. Proceeds to put a picture of his weird-assed house on the front of the bottle.
He’s obviously mastered the nuances of marketing and should probably now turn his focus to stonks.

It takes balls to have the name Onan and sell liquids that you produce in your house.

Truly one of the ugliest things I’ve ever seen… it’s beautiful.

There was a deal between the husband and wife that built this. She said she’d live in a pyramid house if she got to decorate it. (there are old photos online) so, coupled with this rather exotic exterior is an interior that looked like every other 80’s suburban home w carpet and "homey" midwestern interiors like rocking chairs and oak banisters, etc. Its truly hideous inside and out.
