What are those round homes called that people can live in?

You would have to see this house to know what I am talking about and the poster I quoted is my neighbor. This thing has three portions to the structure that are round at the top and cylindrical. Weird windows. Makes one think it was an adobe structure from 100 years ago, but there are A/C units sticking out all over the place. It really looks like a weed.​

Dome Homes, we always called 'em.

Ok the pic that was posted about the geo house? Use photoshop in your mind, and bring the sides in much closer so it looks like a skinny dome, times three right next to each other.

I wish it wasn't dark, I would go take a pic!

Not nearly so interesting on the inside. It's on the Park's Highway between Anchorage and Denali Park, one of the great roadside attractions in the country, IMO, and is now closed down and for sale, never completed because of the nightmare it was for building code.

I think it was originally supposed to be a hotel.

Ah.. what a shame to let that go to waste!!
Seems like if its in between Denali and Ancorage..it should be able to get lots of tourists....
