It's bad from the outside, but the inside is so much worse. And it gets worse the more you look at it. So many details that are just so awful. Living in this "house" is probably miserable.

Here's my two shots in the dark to explain this monstrosity:

Retired couple buys one of those workshop/huge garage and apartment combos. They decide to turn the workshop into an event space for weddings.

They add a few conveniences for the wedding party, like a couple extra bedrooms to get ready, and a black and red honeymoon suite. The decor is hideous because retired wife is old af and it looks good to her. Retired husband sucks at DIY, like electrical and room layout, but doesn't let small things like planning get in his way.

Grandson works at a siding company that mainly does B2B installs and often has leftovers. Sometimes he grabs other overage from the project after talking to other tradies, like a banister here and there. Maybe an orphan cabinet base.

Grandson wants to start his own siding business one day so he is happy to practice installs on the wedding rental building.

Alternative: Fundie church does secret child marriages here and the couple that maintains the property is allowed to live there as well. The ugliness of the property is because they're purely utilitarian and just need a facade of wedding shit because it's not really about the wedding as much as it's about keeping it on the down-low.

Somebody got a smoking deal on a ridiculous quantity of siding.

With all those hard surfaces and open spaces, the echoes in this place must be unreal.

The current owner is the only guy in North America to not have a podcast.

That’s why they carpeted the bedroom walls.

This is the first time I've seen a "it just keeps getting worse" post and actually agreed. I went in n just expecting terrible siding, then the inside of the house, then the chairs, then the lights, then more chairs, the carpet, the exposed wiring, why are there chairs there?, it just kept escalating. Thank you for this.

I concur. Most "it gets worse" style posts have one or two odd things. This one truly delivered.

It's a 3 bedroom (all queens?), 5 bath house with seating for 20. It's either some crazy orgies at night in only a few beds, a business call center kind of place, or they had massive family gatherings with alarming regularity. Of course there's always the cult option, which means it could also be "all of the above".

There is the wall of family photos on shelves... Maybe family get together center?

What's up with the industrial scale sewing equipment?

I like that that the bath and shower have the water valves outside of them.

Don’t forget the ~~maze~~ porch and the fans and ac units stuck randomly in walls.

For the cult on a budget!

Big cult compound vibes,

I lost it when I saw that the siding continues inside. They really went for that one texture look.

Also the through-wall Air Conditioner in the shower????

Is that carpet on a railing?

Looks like it could be easily transformed into a swinger club. And you could power wash the whole facility after the weekends.

And since it’s Arkansas, that’s fun for the whole family!
