The elephant­shaped house was built in 1881 by James Lafferty. In 1962, Herbert Green built a chicken­shaped house.

　　Sarah Winchester tried to build a ghost­proof house in San Jose California. Workers built fake chimneys, doors that open onto blank walls and stairs that lead nowhere.Many rooms were torn down and then rebuilt in a new way to confuse the ghosts. It took 38 years to complete the house!

　　Some houses are built of strange materials. A house in Pigeon Cove, Massachusetts, is built of more than 100,000 newspapers. In Canada, George Pat built a house entirely out of bottles.

　　Some homes stand for great wealth and power. The Palace of Alhambra in Spain is one of the most beautiful homes in the world.

　　The man who built it loved water.A stream runs through all 9 acres of the palace. In each room there is a small pool of sparkling water.

　　Wealthy Americans design dream houses, too. In 1895, Cornelius Vanderbilt built and moved into a house named the

　　Breakers. He called it his summer cottage. It cost $10 million to build and had walls decorated with gold. This “summer cottage” could hold 60 guests comfortably.
