This house is located at 500 Capp St in San Francisco. The artist David Ireland bought it in 1975 for $50k and made the house itself into his art practice. One of the windows is completely sealed, but a tape recorder describes what he saw out the window on the day he sealed it. pic.twitter.com/H904CPh8fM
