Upside Down House

A view of the Upside-Down House located in Lee Vining, California.  From the sign:

 

Upside-Down House

A distinctive local landmark and nationally renowned tourist attraction.  It was the creation of - Nellie Bly O'Bryan (1893-1984), visionary, entrepreneur and long time resident of the Mono Basin.

Originally, located along US-395 north of the Tioga Lodge, it was inspired by two children's stories - "Upside Down Land" and "The Upsidedownians".  Upon her death in 1984, the Upside-Down House fell into disrepair until.... October 9, 2000 when it was rescued and moved to this site.

Although it's tenure as Mono County's first "Man-Made" tourist attraction was briefly (1956 to 1968), it made a lasting contribution to the promotion and development of the Eastern Sierra.

Dedicated July 8, 2001 by E Clampus Vitus, Bodie Chapter No. 64 and the Mono Basin Historical Society

 

By the way, gas topped out at $7.99/gallon at the time of this photo on October 7, 2022 making it among the highest in the nation.  Across the state line in Nevada it was easily $2.50 cheaper.
