The House With A Face On the Chimney, Durham, North Carolina

My cousin Mike's neighbor Gene is transforming his house and property with works of art.  Mike is about to publish a book about it, and he took us to meet the artist and take a look around.

    1. Gene started work on the yard in 2000 and on the garage and house in 2006!
