:meme: He's tryin' to be a Hanukah menorah, but he only has five candles and he needs nine.*
He's long enough - I wonder where the other 4 went! :scratch:

I found this in Huffington Post's Chicago page. The Heller House is a Frank Lloyd Wright design that is on the market for $2.5 million. For that much money, they can throw in the extra 4 candles!

* And a kosher Hanukah menorah has to have all 8 candles in a straight line and the same height.** Just another bit of interesting Jewish trivia!

** The 9th candle is the servant candle and is usually higher. :thumb:

To see it closer if you are on a PC, try holding down the control key and then scroll the mouse wheel forward to zoom in on the photo.

Would not surprise me to find there is a connection between Hannelore Heller and this house.

She has been a top dachshund handler for a very very long time.  She is no longer a handler but does raise some dachshunds. She also moved out east, so is no longer in Illinois!!

once Mike explained how to zoom in, I loved it. (and am sad to report that I broke my dachshund brown ceramic cracker dish one day last summer while cleaning the top of the refrigerator - sniff!)

I bet you can find another on ebay.  I have to laugh I found one of the blue willow ones for sister on EBAY.  At the time there were a lot on there but they were mostly going for abut $25-30.  I discovered one posted as a blue willow dog.  It closed at $10 or less when I won it!!  Funny part is i was hunting dog postcards at local antique store, and was talking about doxies to the owner. Told him about the blue willow I got sister, he says well, its not blue willow but I do have one. Mine  is brown and it was only about $6.  Sadly after going through 2 different dressers full of postcards, did not find any doxie ones.
