[A woman from Glen Ridge NJ] who set out a year ago to make her house the ugliest in the world announced today she was far from satisfied and appealed to the Famous Artists of America to advise her on a color scheme that will make the motley structure shriek.
The present color scheme—pink, blue, green and purple in the manner of camouflage on a wartime ship, interspersed with huge cartoons—is bad enough, according to some residents. But [the woman] is determined to make the $30,000 residence such an eyesore to the community that the Bourough Council will implore her to lease it for a business development.
The strange feud started when the Council decided the house was in a residental zone. [The woman] thought she should be permitted to sell it for a business site. From the impasse the house sprouted red flannel underwear from the windows and all the colors of the rainbow oddly mingled on its sides. A clothesline appeared across the front yard and on it waved the underwear of the 1890’s.
In addition, [the woman] has placed signs about the front yard, expressing her opinion regarding the borough council and on one side of the house is a row of four hogs heads. It happens that the borough council has four members.
