Most houses are decorated for the holidays, birthday parties or some other celebration. But, the Wonder Woman Rosey House on the corner of East Center St and Robert St in Lee, MA is decorated all year round.
Without knowing the back story or reason for decorating the home, the house and property may seem crazy or a little bizarre. However, it is more of a tribute and memorial than some random decorations. Rosey (or Rosemarie) was the wife of painter and resident of the house, Bob Dupont, a professional painter. He painted and decorated his home and property as a tribute to her.
The garage next to the house is decorated primarily in red, white and blue.
The decorations do not stop there at the garage, though.
The house and property are also decorated with decorations and statues ranging from Santa Claus to rabbits.
I would have loved living in a house like this when I was a growing up. It looks like a real fun place to experience!
There are many randomly placed decorations scattered around the property.
The home owner doesn’t seem to mind having visitors. I wasn’t bothered or questioned while I photographed the area. But, it is private property. So, visitors should be respectful of that.
The featured link of the day is another decorated home called The Crazy Christmas House in Coventry, RI.

Yes, it’s definitely very colorful! I think it’s a sweet back story, though. There’s nothing wrong with professing your enduring love and devotion to a loved one.

I quite agree! That’s why I like its uniqueness. Expression for the love of another, no matter what form it takes, is something I greatly admire. 🙂

About 25 years ago a house up the street from me had what I called “Evil Santa Tripping on Acid” on the roof (It was taken down about a year after I moved to town, so it might have been there since the 50s…) . I thought the giant Santa here might be the same, but i think the one that used to be in NH was even creepier…

Well, it seems that statue would have fit right in here at this display! Thank you, Trent.

I’m just surprised that there are two large, scary Santas in new England! Anyway, very cool decorations.

In there probably lives a Wonder Woman. One who is mother, sister, daughter and wife. She spins around every day into any of those roles. Wonderful!

I agree! It’s refreshing to see someone live by their own rules and not care what others might think.
