This Engraved House is a stylish remodel of a fairly plain looking building that over the years has served as a boarding house and convenience store. The newly clad exterior walls feature original engravings drawn using traditional bone tools. But what caught my eye is that, into these same walls, the current owners also stamped the names of all owners of the land and building, from the Algonquin Indians to present-day. Finally, they also stamped an exact copy of the original property deed into the once-wet cement.
