Since 1972, Brooklyn artist Arthur Wood has been turning his home -- purchased as a derelict for $2,000 -- into a work of art. He keeps adding new rooms, architectural gew-gaws, and floors; at least five new floors thus far. This modern version of the Winchester Mystery House now stands over 100 feet tall, befuddling the neighbors, delighting the trendwatchers, and ticking-off the city. A fire in October 2006 triggered a deluge of code violations, but Wood vowed to keep building.
