5. The Littlefield House outside of the Univ. of Texas at Austin (© 2007 (CC) Larry D. Moore)

Oh that place is fantastic. I've seen it before but not in such a great picture..
Yes, I've used that picture several times (desktop background for my steamed laptop). The building has passed through several hands including a sorority, fraternity and now it's used as an office

Although I believe the place is well maintained by the university. Note the red hand-carved limestone blocks mixed with fired brick (a type of coral-limestone which is almost extinct now in favour of yellow limestone in Texas -a consequence of marine transgressive-regressive cycles during the Phanerozoic, Cenozoic and Paleozoic eras).
Lieutenant George Washington Littlefield was an important financial contributor when the university was founded in 1883, and being a former Confederate soldier he had a reputation for being eccentric.
Legend has it that he made his servants illuminate the garden at night from the second balcony for fears of a new Yankee invasion

He instituted the rule that all main entrances to college buildings and statues should face the south!!! The rule was rescinded later in the 20th. C. but as a result we have a lot of South-facing entrances at the university!!
