Infamous Redneck Mansion…not really
Milo Plurnbottom almost 2 years ago

In case you are somehow not on someone’s comedy email list I just had to share this with you all.
The general caption and rumor circulating with this image was Redneck Mansion, which has led to a variety of humorous discussions around the internet.
kyshutterbug on Flickr wondered
I wonder if it’s photoshopped. How on earth would someone stack a bunch of trailers like this. I can only hope this isn’t located somewhere in Kentucky if it’s real.
RavenHull on the snopes forum conjectured:
My best guess? We are looking at some kind of roadside attraction.
And pissedoffsoutherwoman at stonerguy.com was none to happy about the title and resulting discussion:
The “South�? is not the only place in America where people live in mobile homes you morons. And the term “redneck�? is not universal to the Southern states. Get a life Idiots! Now that’s a universal term.
And the folks at Reddit had a whole lot to say about the photo.
But of the redneck mansion…
This photo is not the vision of a rich trailer park fan. Nor is it some kind of apartment complex.
As we learn from the snopes.com Redneck Mansion entry and sonnyradio it is in fact a theatrical set for a 2005 production of Chekhov’s Ivanov in Amsterdam at the Theatre het Amsterdam Bos.
And there you have it. But I still think this is a pretty neat structure and found myself almost disappointed that it wasn’t “real”.

The images shown here are mostly available all over the internet and it seems impossible to pin down a photographer. However the photos shown are specifically borrowed from:
