"If you ever find yourself in San Francisco with an extra $10,000 to spend, you might consider checking into the Penthouse Suite at the Fairmont Hotel.

Follow the 'read more' link, and you'll find a countdown of the five "eccentric homes," starting with Singer Castle (a little five-story getaway on the St. Lawrence River), to Sessions House. Despite the names, all the houses listed are in America.
After the Sessions House entry, there's a link tantalizingly labeled "Lots More Information."
Each house entry has a photo (not always of the house), and a fairly detailed description of the house and its history.
Enjoy.
