Owners of odd houses frequently can’t find buyers. A home, made in a dome, which sits in St. Louis, built in 1977, has been off and on the market since 2007. Since then, through a series of listings and delistings, its price has dropped from $542,000 to $398,000
The home has some historic aspects, according to realtor.com. It was designed by Jon Mullinax, who learned his trade from architect and inventor Buckminster Fuller. That has not helped sell the home, or hold its price.

The realtor who is selling the house calls it “the only one of its kind in St. Louis.” Again, not something that has driven a sale. This agent, Edye Todd , claims 100 people came through at a recent open house. Probably, all of them were gawkers.
Realtor.com’s listing says the house has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. It sits on one acre.
The listing:
Unique Geodesic Dome built by Jon Mullinax, an engineer who was inspired by his professor, Buckminster Fuller.
