Whatcha got in that hut?
I've been gathering data on huts in Running Springs. Seems there are quite a few of these little architectural wonders out there in the greater Running Springs area.
Why is this?
Running Springs is like a village. A village that has expanded out - but not up. Smaller houses are the norm, leaving little inside space for those human habits we love to aquire. Collections, hobbies, visiting relatives - they all go in the hut.
What makes a hut...special?
The best huts aren't prefab. like the ones huddled in the Home Depot parking lot. The best huts are designed and decorated by their owners; the weird folks of Running Springs. They are weird and if you don't believe me go and check out some of these huts.
But weird in a good way.
There are some real winners out there. After the fires of last year my desire to properly document the huts has grown. Some huts, like this one, survived when their house did not.
This is an 'Orphaned Hut.'
We call this next one "Small World Hut." It has the same fussy little Danish look of the beloved water ride. I expect to hear music coming from inside the stained glass windows of this one, the beads jangling from the rafters, the wooden tulips bouncing up and down.
That would be cool!
Do you have a hut? In Running Springs?
