Oh, nice. I instantly recognized the house (always thought the fact that it had a double front door without windows was a touch odd) but it never registered that it could be a complete disguise.

Well played, Raleigh Public Works.

I always thought it was foe the radio tower, I had no idea it was for a pumping station.

Yeah someone told me it was a fake house with giant electric grid stuff in it. Pretty cool to know what's really in there after all these years.

I see someone breaking into this real soon...

1/17/2014 1:34:11 PM

H&S designed it

1/17/2014 10:33:26 PM

1/17/2014 10:55:32 PM
