3. The Shoe House, Hallam, Pennsylvania, USA
Built in 1948 by shoe maven Mahlon N. Haines, the Shoe House has become a must see road trip stop in Pennsylvania. Not initially designed as a road side attraction, but as an advertisement for his company, promoting the claim that the company raised boots “hoof-to-hoof” because the company’s boot making process started by raising the cattle. The 5 story house was originally the shoe maven’s house, then it became a rental property until it became a tourist attraction in recent years. There are shoe houses all over the world, but someone actually lived in this one.
