FanToys: Benjamin Button's House

7:06 PM / Posted by Bradford Oman /

This installment of FanToys is only for the wealthy, and in these hard economic times, that's probably none of you. Either way, this is just too cool not to post. I've always wanted to own iconic pieces of movie history, the DeLorean from Back to the Future being at the top of the list for sure.

Well now we find out via /Film that Sotheby's auction house has listed a very large sort of setpiece from the recently Academy Award nominated film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. The actual house in which Benjamin Button grew younger, the nursing home maintained by his surrogate mother Queenie is being sold through Sotheby's international realty for $2.85 million. The house is over 200 years old and even survived hurricane Katrina. My only wish was that there were two of these houses so I could play with one and keep the other in the package. COLLECTIBLE NERD ALERT!

That would be a pretty cool buy.
