Try as I might, I’ve never quite gotten the whole Steampunk thing, but after seeing this incredible Victorian Steampunk house on wheels, I’d say I’m pretty much sold.
Neverwas Haul: A Steampunk House on Wheels
According their website, the house was built by members of the Academy of Unnatural Sciences in 2006 and has made yearly appearances at Burning Man as well as other indie festivals. Here’s some more information from the Neverwas Haul team:
Neverwas Haul, a self-propelled 3-story Victorian House, made from 75% recycled equipment and materials, returns with new interiors, operating system, and collections from its travels around the world (i.e., oddities of the Jules Verne era including a Camera Obscura). The Haul measures 24 feet long by 24 feet high and 12 feet wide and is built on the base of a 5 th wheel travel trailer.
Aparently it’s also available to rent for special events. Visit neverwashaul.com to find out more and see more Neverwas Hall images on flickr.

Wow... I don't usually expect to see a scene from Burning Man on AT.
But it really is awesome. It looks even better in person!

That's incredible. Just...wow. What a labor of love. It's like a playhouse for adults.

It's like "Howl's Moving Castle"!

That’s funny you mention "Howl's Moving Castle". They park this thing in Oakeyville (Oakland, Berkeley, Emeryville Area) at an artist run compound. I had just watched "Howl's Moving Castle" with the kids when we stumbled upon this on a bike ride. As we peeked in at the gate, a very nice woman invited us in and gave us a tour.
When my sharp eyed daughter spotted the artist in the framed photograph shown in the last image, it took the artist by surprise.
The image looks vintage and the people are dressed in Victorian clothes, so after we left my daughter asked my if they could travel back in time in that moving castle.
