It doesn't take the keenest of eyes to notice two things that are significantly different about the well-known Luther House in the picture above. The first thing any given neighbor would notice when driving by and listening to their bass-bumping car stereos is the void directly below the second floor window. That's right ladies and gentlemen, the infamous and severely weathered deer head has finally been removed from the facade of the Luther House. Some would argue that this is a sad thing, and to some degree it is. The removal of the deer does, however, improve the appearance of the house a great deal... if it weren't for the wooden blockade that was built minutes before the house was de-deered. You see, the city has numerous problems with how disgusting the Luther House is, so much so that they often send notices telling them to remove items within the given time period or pay a fine, and remove them anyway. One item that College Station would love to see the front porch without is the couch that rests on the Eastern corner. They said that furniture that is made for the indoors is not to be visible from the street on the exterior of a house. So rather than moving the couch, John Banks in all his handiness, built a wall blocking the couch's visibility from the street. Brilliant.

It goes without saying that the deer head which was removed went through various pranks, one of which is pictured below. Also, if you'd like to see a sideways video of the actual removal of the deer, click here and then click "Download." Enjoy.
