Yes, we know Sarah is a bit obsessed with underground sites, (she’s getting help) but this one has a haunted DOLL ROOM! Then Erin takes us to a mid-west mansion built by a barbed wire baron in Joliet, Illinois. This sensational Second Empire structure comes complete with stories of spirits and even a curse!

Rich People are Weird

They say money can’t buy happiness…but it can fund some pretty wild endeavors.  We are sharing some of the strangest spendings on structures we could find for episode 11 (technically 10!) Bad Architecture: Rich People are Weird, w. 🤑 First up, Erin takes you to the rocky coast of Gloucester, Massachusetts, where a crazy rich inventor built a massive, medieval-style castle with one humongous organ. (GET YOUR MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER!) Then Sarah brings you deep down to the Las Vegas underground to explore a lavish bunker built by the former CEO of Avon. (You know how we love a good bunker!) Erin wraps the episode with a badass building so rich in family history and delightful design, you’ll be swooning. What is it? You’ll have to listen to the episode to find out! 🏚️🎙️♥️ Looking for the images we’re talking about?

The Bridges of WTF County

Ooooooooh do we have a bridge (or two) to sell ya in Episode 10 of Bad Architecture…The Bridges of WTF County!  First, we travel to the Puget Sound with Sarah who tells the twisted and twisting tale of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, AKA Galloping Gertie, in Tacoma, Washington. Then Erin shares the very dark downfall of the Truesdell Bridge Disaster in Dixon, Illinois. If traveling over bridges already gives you the shakes and Shivers, you will absolutely hate this episode.   For the Bad Ass portion of the show, Sarah gives a much-needed palate cleanser with a bridge that has stood the test of time in stunning style. What is it? You’ll just have to listen to find out! ***Trigger Warning: Death is mentioned in this episode, so please listen with care.*** Looking for the images we’re talking about?

Spite Houses

Malice and spite and everything nice… If “be more spiteful” was on your to-do list for 2024, we’ve got some good inspo for you in Episode 9 of Bad Architecture…SPITE HOUSES! Show your enemies your true feelings and tell them to f*ck right off –through architecture!  First, Sarah swings us out to sunny California to the Alameda Spite House, whose small footprint brought darkness (in more ways than one) upon its neighbor. Then Erin shares the story of Al Ba’sa, or “The Grudge.” No, not the horror movie from 2004, but a slim lil building in Beirut with a pretty lasting legacy all its own.  For the Bad Ass portion of the show, Sarah shares the opposite of spite with a hand-built home that’s filled with architectural and actual treasures! You’ll just have to listen to find out what it is! ***Trigger Warning: There are mentions of suicide in this episode, so please listen with care.*** Looking for the images we’re talking about?
