Bughouse - Spaceship House

It apparently isn't a tourist attraction anymore, because there aren't any signs to it and it is almost hidden by the plants around it. It looks all broken and old. But, I wanted to see it anyway, just so I could say I did.

[Deborah Savell, 05/05/2009]

It has functioned as a private residence, not a commercial tourist attraction.

Bug House.

Bug House - Spaceship House

Here are some pix of the "Bug House" in Albuquerque. At least that's what I call it. I guess many people call it the "Spaceship House." It is near the University. The architect is Bart Prince, and he lives in this place.
