This house, called the Sutyagin House, is the tallest wooden house with 13 floors, reaching 144ft. It was built by Mr Sutyagin and his family in 1992, without formal building plans or a construction permit. He first built his house with only 2 stories high.
Convinced by a trip he made in Japan and Norway, where many wooden houses were made, he chose to keep building. 
Over 15 years, the structure deteriorated while Sutyagin spent a few years in prison on racketeering charges.
It was condemned in 2008 by the city as a fire hazard and the courts ordered to completely demolish the house in 2009.
