Seattle, Washington
This real life Up house (pictured here with balloons as a promotional stunt for the release of the film) belonged to Edit Macefield. Both are now local legends in her community, memorialized by many with a tattoo of the house created in their honor. In 2007, she refused to give in to developers who offered nearly $1 million for her small house worth just $8,000 at the time, on land valued at $120,000.Only after she died was it sold, but to a quite appropriate new owner: a local company known for motivational seminars. Rather than tear it down, they’re going to elevate it to be the top floor of their new offices.
