Treehouse of Coolness

Got this link from my old standby Mental Floss:

Everybody’s Treehouse was completed in 2007 at Mt. Airy Forest in Cincinnnati, Ohio. Bill Allen of Forever Young talked to the New York Times about it.

Its 160-foot ramp winds among 14 trees (red and white
oaks, maples and ash) as it climbs 15 feet to a 2,000-square-foot house
with two asymmetrical cedar-shingle roofs that give it a
Hansel-and-Gretel look. The structure is made of tongue-and-groove pine
boards with an ipê-wood deck and has eight windows; most start 32
inches from the floor, an ideal height for wheelchair occupants. “For a
kid in a wheelchair,” Mr. Allen said, “it gives a different perspective
of what the world looks like, of what a tree looks like, of what a
forest looks like.”

A stronge collaboration between city officials, sponsors, civic
organizations, and construction crews meant this treehouse could be
built in record time -only 32 days! HBA Charitable Projects kept a photoblog on the construction of the Mt. Airy Treehouse. It is described as having “one of the most whimsical and complicated roofing systems ever seen”. (image credit: Jennifer Johnson)

Just wondering if my Cincy peeps have been there...looks like fun for the kiddos!
