The Texas Bucket List - Bruno Steel House in Lubbock

[@brownchildcasino]

Got to see this in 2002 while visiting family in Lubbock. Unique piece of art. Greetings from Germany!

[@leeboriack8054]

The house deserves a historical marker to protect it.

[@annetiaclark6582]

I live in Lubbock Texas and this house has always been there... Thank you for the report...

[@techsandwich4483]

I drive there about once a year. The house this one faces is interesting as well and I believe Bruno designed it too.

[@yoburntyo]

I actually live on the same street and when I was younger got a personal tour when he was still working on it. That was very cool

[@Deepdriller328]

Pretty cool!! Never knew it was there. Now I'll go see it!!!

[@kurtisgonzales37]

Gotta look at the house across the street while you're at it. It's just as amazing.

[@robertmoore7739]

Can't miss it..it's literally perched on the canyon wall..I have been by it numerous times..actually another house adjacent to it that's pretty unique in its own right...enjoy!

[@LoneStarBackpacker]

I lived just a few houses down from it very neat house!!

[@kathleenkirchoff9223]

Thanks for this update. I got to tour this around 1980 with Bruno and Dr. Lockhart's art class. I remember he was working on custom curved furniture in exotic wood and designing a stain glass elevator in one of those legs. I would love info on renting it. Bruno was part of my husband's architecture education at Tech and we spent time a Lake Ransome as college kids.

[@thomasallen3818]

It looks like a digital SLR camera. I’ve seen exterior photos of the house but never the inside. What an amazing place.

[@markjessicasprague5468]

We found this house when moving our daughter from northern California to Texas Tech, loved it at first site.

[@rvndmnmt1]

Well, if your one of "those" Californians leave your politics at the door. In my lifetime I've seen your type destroy Washington and Oregon. Seem to be working on Idaho and Arizona. Now your moving to Texas and Florida. If you are those type stay in your own hellhole and lie in the bed you made.

[@tneal245]

Pretty cool house. Thanks for sharing this😎💯

[@hendol249]

We used to run around in that house back in the 80s. I can tell you that the long-term residents of Ransom Canyon pretty much hated this place as it sat unfinished for so long. There is also a very unique house right across the street from it.

[@brianbird3756]

It's been a dream of a close friend of mine to own this house one day. I wouldn't mind renting it to stay in for a weekend. I've always liked it.

[@brandonb5029]

How have I never heard of this and I've lived here all my life

[@scubatrucker6806]

Looks like something from a starwars movie 👍😎

[@Toni_Snark]

Or Mad Max

[@drmarkintexas-400]

🏆🏆🏆👍🇺🇲🙏 Thank you for sharing.

[@antoniodelacruz7333]

Back in the 1970s I lived in Lubbock and took my wife and kids there, the house did not have windows back then and one could walk in and check it out.

[@naweathers8]

This house is now on the market. Completely renovated and updated. Looks incredible on the inside!

[@brianmoody2549]

Understanding what makes history, is hear who it was built,everyone needs to learn that.

[@kathleenkirchoff9223]

Always reminded me of Bill Bagley's sculptures at Texas Tech.

[@cdavis759]

Saw this house all my life

[@user-nf7hb5vd6k]

Lmao damn, we go to lubbock all the time since its only an hour and a half. But I've never knew about this shit

[@keithburt7874]

The companion piece that marked the next corner spent years off MLK Blvd near KRFE studios until brought to rest in Texas Tech campus at 18th and Flint, iconic sculptures that made bicycling the Ransom Canyon a priceless practice , Peace3ed

[@danielmaldonado258]

I live in lubbock and when I was like 17 me and my friends went there inside and got ran off but we were just amazed by it.

[@RenaissanceThinking]

When I was in architecture at Tech, I spent a lot of time there. Mr Bruno was quite a guy.

[@bobbylee8800]

I miss that house. I was engaged to his daughter cris for about two yrs around the time of his passing And spent alot of time there

[@WolfOfRagnar]

that man thought me how to play guitar this the sign i need to get back in touch with Mr. Martinez

[@Altekameraden79]

There are some talented researchers in the math department at Texas Tech that should do a topological study on the house for a neat project. George Gray in the TTU Mechanical Engineering department does lots of metal artwork as well, not sure if he exhibits it.

[@mikejones7990]

The Steel House is also on the Motorcycle Grand Tour of Texas year

[@unknown-iz4sp]

i’ve lived in lubbock all my life and never knew this existed 💀💀

[@michaelmojica9057]

Very very nice

[@charliechurch5004]

Lived here for 12 years and never noticed

[@Kingme1337]

That’s awesome

[@franciscosandiego3026]

I like Texas bucket list videos on KZbin from the imperial co California.

[@raytorres2442]

Next time you pass thru Amarillo get some burritos at la pasadita or a mexican burger. Also try gorditas at el comal. On Sundays come early to la choza and try their carnitas .menudo and barbacoa at tacos garcia on weekends

[@williambillybobjojr.jamesb6033]

Roosevelt cross country, we run past it twice a week, good landmark for when we are about to die going uphill

[@DBFCUBBZ]

I live down the street from this house !

[@ryanehlis426]

I live in Lubbock, but plan on moving to Dallas soon

[@kathleenkirchoff9223]

Stay on the South Plains Dallas is crazy crowded. But Lubbock looks like Big D now not the college town of my youth.

[@ryanehlis426]

@@kathleenkirchoff9223 lol, the lord is calling me to Dallas, my church is there

[@good2btheking]

Absolute piece of art but surrounded by mundane soulless houses. If I had money I would buy the whole area and invite artists to tear down those ugly houses and make their own versions of similar looking houses as The Bruno House.

[@atexaninkorea1773]

I always wondered why that dude never really finished the house and left it derelict for most of its history. I hope the new owner does something good with it like make it a coffee shop or wine bar.

[@bluwells3615]

I grew up in Ransom Canyon and spent my childhood years climbing the cliff right under the Metal Monster as it was named in the late 70s ,my best friend lived a block away n i lived on w lakeshore directly under it. Its in Ransom Canyon tx not Lubbock. Ransom is its own city... 79366 oh beautiful canyon got married at ransom chapel last yr wish i could afford to live out there still. If anyone wants to know anything im more than willing to tell stories about it and how it got its name. The Canyon that is.

[@shellylozano1052]

That guy has bigger pupils than my cat when she is scared! Mushrooms do that!

[@LemonySnicket-EUC]

The house recently sold and is being turned into an Airbnb. Sadly.

[@Grayfamily67]

lol. I been there!!

[@hg1651]

I can’t wait for all the traffic coming down our street now.

[@TenaciousP45]

I wonder how the temperature/insulation is

[@LemonySnicket-EUC]

It's not bad. Cool breeze off of the water. He didn't build it to live in it. Pure passion.

[@zaviencyrus3702]

the house is alive and also the guy is proboly in the house too or something eles like beings

[@shun506]

Wouldn't be in this in thunderstorm

[@Dustinpool87]

Been there ever since I was a kid but the flint stone house is actually done and it's down the street.

[@zippingzapping3272]

sad people should of left it original not hide all his work new owners don't care about the house only quick cash

[@randallspinks2345]

Really since 1991 its neen pretty much closed that rusting sht hole is nothing at all

[@leeboriack8054]

The house deserves a historical marker to protect it.

[@LemonySnicket-EUC]

It sold recently and It's being turned into an Airbnb now.
