The Famous Hollywood Movie House in Boulder
The Brenton House, also known as The Mushroom House, was designed by architect Charles Haertling and is located in North Boulder’s Wonderland Hills subdivision. It’s called The Mushroom House because of its unusual shape, but it should be called The Barnacle House because it was inspired by barnacles that Haertling chipped from ship hulls while in the Navy. The house was built above a lake and has breathtaking views of the water, mountains, and downtown Boulder.
Woody Allen’s 1973 film “Sleeper” featured the Mushroom House. The National Enquirer called it a “weird house”
