Why so serious?
Stark Insider was on location late last year to shoot a special video segment at the iconic Flintstone House.
See below for photo gallery of the Flintstone House.
Little did the team know at the time the Hillsborough, California property would soon capture local and soon national headlines.
Here are a selection of some of the recent stories and news articles:
- New York Times: Meet the Flintstone House, a Home So Odd It Was Declared a ‘Public Nuisance’
- The Guardian: ‘Flintstone’ house sparks lawsuit from California town: ‘It’s an eyesore’
- CNN: ‘Flintstones House’ angers neighborhood
- Mercury News: ‘Highly visible eyesore’: Hillsborough sues to declare Flintstone House a ‘public nuisance’
- San Francisco Chronicle: Hillsborough suing over ‘Flintstone House,’ calling additions an eyesore
Turns out, even after all these years (the property was built in the 1970s), some object to the property, and specifically the (incredible) new dinosaurs installed recently in the backyard. Oddly, despite the headlines most commenters and those in and around the Bay Area in particular seem to love the place.
Anyone who lives in the San Francisco Bay Area and has driven along Highway 280 are probably very familiar with the home. Based on the beloved Flintstones TV show of the 60s and 70s, many say it puts on their faces as they drive past.
