I almost drove by the place! It's super residential, but stands out like a sore thumb. You can't enter the property, but I was able to get great shots from the sidewalk.

A mysterious structure in Santa Cruz. The structures were built during WWII by Kenneth and Raymond Kitchen. They were inspired by orthodox Christian churches. The structures remain unoccupied, but they're still on private property.
