Can’t see how anyone will ever spot that one…
Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the purpose of these for them to not be an eyesore among the background? Like, all they are meant to do is pass as a weird tree at a single glance from like a car window.
Yes, that is what is supposed to happen, but in this case I think they really made a point of doing the absolute bare minimum required to install this one…
They built a building in front of it that looks pretty close to a normal house for all the support equipment. Thry probably didn’t need to do that.
Actually I’m pretty sure they did have to do that in order to build it in this neighborhood. Also, they didn’t build this house, it was already there.
Woosh
I’m pretty sure it wasn’t a woosh. It’s really common to build “fake” buildings to hide equipment. The OP says it already existed, but all the windows look like typical hidden building fake windows. There’s a wall behind all of them. You can find these buildings all over, hiding things like electric substations, oil jacks, subway infrastructure, and all kinds of other things.
We’ve got a few in that style where I live, and they are all among redwood trees. Ours are modeled after blue spruce, which doesn’t grow around here and in the middle of a bunch of warm/yellow green redwoods, they look like cookie monsters with antennae.

That looks super close. Does the homeowner have an easement in their backyard?
That looks to be a fake house that is used to hide some kind of city infrastructure. That would also make it a great place to put a hidden cell tower.
You’re both kind of right. It’s actually an old house that’s been there for years, T-Mobile bought it and stuck this tower there. No one actually lives there anymore though
Pretty old structure with glass block window likely replacing an old actual window. There was a poor homeowner once living there.

What cell tower?
Could someone put a red circle over it? I can’t find it either.
That actually looks quite eerie
It looks just like a house!
That’s a fugly house.
I’m fairly certain it’s just an equipment building made to look like/converted from a house
I feel like if that front window was different it would make all the difference
So, there used to be a normal window there but then they cut a giant hole in the wall (I’m assuming in order to install equipment that wouldn’t fit through the door), and that was how they filled in the hole.
We call them frankenpines.
