The Mushroom House or Pod House is a contemporary residence in the town of Perinton, New York which has been featured in television programs (notably HGTV's Offbeat America series)[2] and books (notably the Weird U.S. series)[3] due to its whimsical appearance. Patterned after umbels of Queen's Anne's Lace, its brown color is more suggestive of mushrooms.[4] The house was constructed for attorney-artist couple Robert and Marguerite Antell between 1970 and 1972 and was designated a town landmark in 1989.[5]

James H. Johnson actually fashioned this unique dwelling after a stem of Queen Anne’s Lace. The home's distinctive retro-modern "pod" design earned it a designation as a Town of Perinton Landmark in 1989! In addition, nature is all around you.....being adjacent to Powder Mill Park with a beautiful stream and waterfall!
