I'm reading about the dust bowl, the dirty 30's in the Texas and OK panhandles. This fits except in this shot there is grass.

I like both architectures, but terrible mashup.

Interesting
Odd mix of architectural styles in such close proximity

At least the bar has a great view.

Again, some information from my homeland .

The Dancing House in Prague was designed by Croatian architect Vlado Milunić together with Amarican-Canadian architect Frank O. Gehry. The building houses offices, a luxury café and a restaurant. The building gets its name from its towers, which resemble the figures of dancers Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire. The dancer is represented by a stone tower and his partner by a glass tower. At the top of the tower symbolizing the dancer is a dome with a structure made of metal tubes covered with stainless steel mesh, wrapped in imaginary hair and representing the head of a jellyfish. The interior of the house is designed by Czech-British architect Eva Jiřičná. The rooms are asymmetrical and their walls are slanted.

The dancing house opened in 1996 and won the prestigious American Time magazine's Design of the Year award the same year. In 2021, the Dancing House was evaluated by Roofing Megastore's analytical software, which compared the parameters of the fifty most famous architectural works with a numerical ratio known as the golden ratio, as the 9th most beautiful building in the world.

It's unbelievable, but I took only one selfie of this building on my cell phone when my wife and I were returning from dinner at the Dancing House restaurant late last December. The photo is so ugly I can't even post it here... And I don't have any more in my archive yet.

Thank you Lubos. There's also a similar building in MIT Cambridge.

One more

Longue Vue House and Gardens, New Orleans. The original house and gardens began in 1924. In 1934, the gardens were re-designed. The owners decided that their house did not allow them to fully enjoy their new grounds, so the original house was moved and a new one erected in its place starting in 1939. The house has 20 rooms on 3 floors, including the formal drawing room which hosted Eleanor Roosevelt, John and Robert Kennedy, Jack Benny and Pablo Casals when they were in town. There are 16 gardens on site - 4 visible from each of the 4 sides of the house.
