PFF - The Cheese House - Cheesy Roadside Architecture



If you are looking for cheddar, you can find it at The Cheese House in Arlington, Vermont. It looks like it would be a nice place to visit in the fall. If you can't visit the store, you can order online at The Cheese House website. Their online offerings include Truck Driver Cheddar and 'Ol Rat Trap Cheddar.

The Cheese House was built in 1965 in the shape of a wheel of cheese. A wedge was cut out for the entrance. The circles were added to the building's surface to make it look cheesier. Chunky the mouse was on top of the building for more than thirty years but is no longer there. The building has been modified so that it no longer looks so much like a wheel of cheese.

    Great, imaginative architecture. The Dutch word for cheese is kaas, and we love, love, love it.

    O.K. this is the second 'cheese' theme on postcards and I'm thinking I missed the memo ;-( Probably was the theme for today.
    Love the block of cheese house, very clever!

    I was planning to post a different card, but I changed my mind about what to post when I saw Marie's cheese card.

    I must have missed the cheese theme for PFF. Well, my posting on SPAM should have mentioned that at one time they sold "Spam with Cheese Chunks".
