In Minnesota, we are known for having a few buildings with some unique architecture like the Walker Art Center, The Weisman Museum, and some of our historic houses. This one house in particular, however, is extremely unique and unlike any other you’ll find. This one-of-a-kind creation is in Minnetrista, and is definitely a work of art.

Ensculptic was the creation of architect Winslow Wedin in 1969.
