Edith Macefield "Up" House

Edith Macefield received worldwide attention in 2006 when she turned down an offer of $1 million to sell her house to make way for a five-story commercial development. Instead, the Ballard Blocks project was built surrounding her 108-year-old farmhouse. While production of the film Up, based on a strikingly similar premise, started two years before, Disney acknowledged the story with a promotional tie-in.
