This building is a sculpture in the NC Museum of Art sculpture park called Cloud Chamber for the Trees and Sky by Chris Drury. It looks like a hobbit house, but it is a camera obscura. There is a small hole in the roof that acts like a pinhole camera. Images of the trees and sky are projected into the house. My sister and I went in, but we didn't want to close the door all the way in case we got stuck in there, so we didn't really see any images. I think it needs to be very dark. Next time I'll bring a flashlight.
I've been looking for this one for a long time, I thought they'd taken it out but I guess I haven't explored everything yet!
