AIR TIMES:

Shoe House and More
Take a look at three of the most unusual houses in the country. First, hidden in the woods of Accokeek, Md., is a glass-faced modern place dubbed "The Lightcatcher House." When sunlight pours through the numerous windows, it reflects off of the light-catching devices hanging from the living room ceiling to create magnificent, ever-changing artwork on the walls. Next, in the middle of farm country in York, Penn., is a three-bedroom, two-bath shoe. Startlingly normal people actually live in this house/roadside attraction, which was built in 1948 by a local businessman known as the "Shoe Wizard." Finally, a trip to Atlanta finds an 1890s Victorian home that was really built in 2001. Every detail of the place was researched, built and painted according to 100-year-old specs.
