If you travel to Huntsville on 11th St, you will see a very unique site.  However, with it being in Texas it should not surprise you.  It's almost as if a giant cowboy left behind his boot and hat.

There is a giant boot in Huntsville that you could live in.  It's a 2-bedroom, 1-bath home, with an extra room.  The boot stands 35 ft. tall and is 711 sq. ft.  Most of the living area is in an annex behind the boot, but a staircase leads you up the boot to a deck on the top of the boot.  This home is not on the market, but at one point the Cowboy Boot could be rented for $1200 per month.

The Cowboy Hat House
