A Unique Abode

Found in the town of Cochrane along the Carretera Austral (Southern Highway) this home immediately struck me as a petrified version of James' giant peach (or pear?), a book I read in school as a boy.

How it came to be here is a mystery to me but what an excellent archaeological find!
