Mahlon Haines built this boot-shaped house in 1948 to promote his shoe stores. It has been a museum and ice cream shop in the past and is now a private short-stay rental, so expect to admire it from the road rather than tour inside.
Good to know
- Public tours are not offered now; it is mostly a roadside photo stop
- Respect the guests and the private property
- Getting there
- Short detour off US-30 on Shoe House Road
