And the people who won it painted the front to a different color to match the rest of the neighborhood. 
They should have left it a tourist attaction.
Well, if I lived across the street from them, I'd rather see a normal color too...
Well I don't blame the owners too much since (a) it should have been placed somewhere out of a residential area and (b) it shouldn't have been raffled off. Plus, from what I've heard, they left the inside as is.
And I feel the opposite... if I lived across the street I'd want that thing the original color. But then again I lived in a neighborhood where the others did some freaky things to their houses.
