The North Carolina house with a weird secret

Last week Reddit uncovered an interesting mystery: a house in North Carolina which looks utterly unremarkable, except that it has no driveway, the lights are never on, and there is no walkway in front. Turns out it’s not a house at all: it’s a clever camouflage job for a pumping station.

These faux houses are kept a closely-guarded secret by local utility companies, but they are probably found all across the nation. In fact, this may explain the mystery of a strange house a few miles from my house.
