- Comment. Many sources exist about this. Google and HighBeam searches for <"Horace Burgess" treehouse> quickly yields substantial coverage in The Tennessean (reprinted in USA Today [1]); Slate [2]; New York Daily News [3]; the Daily Mail [4]; The Independent [5]; Scripps Howard News Service [6]; and lots of local coverage. --Arxiloxos (talk) 07:13, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
- Keep Also covered in several books including Beyond Bizarre; Knack Treehouses; Tennessee Curiosities; &c. It's going straight into my list of bizarre buildings... Andrew (talk) 08:02, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
- Comment I'll withdraw it, if someone will add those sources. Do we have a usable picture ? DGG ( talk ) 19:37, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
