The Anarchy and the Ecstasy

OK I’m back. This one from Pete F seems appropriate during the political turmoil. First, this hideous mausoleum of a house would be a worst anywhere, secondly it’s in Rockingham, and third, it has an anarchist symbol scratched into the concrete outside. No-one comes out of this looking good.

    I’d always arrogantly assumed Rockingham was home of the bogan. I had no idea people of class and sophistication lived there too.

    Hang on, Rockingham didn’t even exist (as a ‘locality’) in the 18th. century.

    What are the six pointy things on the roof?

    I keep hoping the vines will flourish & make it look like a ruin.

    That central frieze-horses, chariots & swords. Can’t tell from the street if it’s Ramses or Ben Hur.

    ‘…nestled between a truck differential heavy machine shop and a Tannery, this circa 2005 gem has a full strip of Fast Food outlets just 1 minute away. The discerning buyer also need not worry about convenient access to firearms outlets or $2 shops as Rockingham central is…’

    All I can imagine is having a showdown with a badly disfigured (possibly albino) serial killer on the roof of that place. The whole thing ends with him impaled on one of those urns.

    I’m no expert but I’d say this is an excellent example of early 21st century Greco-Bogan.

    That looks like a copy of the Elgin Marbles. Can we get a close-up ? you might be able to see the genitalia of the boys riding the horses.

    They’re not finials, which are decorative turned wood spikes. Gargoyles are waterspouts. Grotesques are gobliny things to scare evil away. This house just has urns.

  18. This house is unique but its not ugly, at least it has symmetry. If you think this this bad then go to bicton…. That place is full of weird homes! One very ugly dark brown “wild west 1980” one in particular which beats all other houses on here. You haven’t seen ugly! This house is not it.
