Once upon a time, in the County of York (Pennsylvania, that is truly), a wizard built a magical house that ended up being meant to influence people to do what he wanted the crooks to. No, seriously, it'ersus a correct story. In 1948, the self-proclaimed "Shoe Wizard", furthermore known since "Colonel" Mahlon N. Haines, commissioned a house to always be built to appear just like a high-topped the job boot. It ended up being the advertising ploy - so you could really say that he has been trying to influence people to carry out what he wanted them to - to buy his shoes.


Haines ended up being a successful businessman. His initial consignment of shoes had been a mere $127.00, and he worked hard to build a shoe empire that stretched coming from central Pennsylvania to northern Maryland. Of the time Haines had the house built he owned over 40 shoe stores.

The house is truly in Hallam Township, Pennsylvania, and it is actually a popular tourist attraction. Made with a wood frame, the builders then constructed a boot-shaped wire lath and coated it in stucco to produce the outside with the boot. The complete structure is truly 17 feet wide, 25 feet high (at the ankle portion in the boot), and 48 feet longer.
