Boat House (Encinitas, California)
Living in a boathouse is pretty common—but living in a house that’s shaped like a boat? Not so much. A creative builder took inspiration from his love for the sea and built the S.S. Encinitas and S.S. Moonlight apartments out of salvaged timbers from an old hotel. These houses have been a vital part of Encinitas’ history since the early 20th century and last we heard, community leaders had plans to turn them into museums.
