The devastating fires in Northern California have claimed thousands of structures including a landmark known as the “glass house.”  
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the distinctive hexagon-shaped residence perched atop a privately owned peak in Fairfield was burned down late last week. 
Pictures and video posted online show the home’s glass walls now gone, with just its concrete foundation and metal support structure remaining. 
The renowned property was completed around 14 years ago by Cigarettes Cheaper founder John Roscoe for a total cost of approximately $17 million. 
At the time, the three-bedroom, 13,600-square-foot home featured frameless, 15-foot high windows with unobstructed views, a cantilevered swimming pool, and a helipad. 
Online records indicate that it was most recently sold for around $3.5 million in 2012. 
The Daily Mail reports that the current owners, a Texas couple named Cathy and Jesse Marion, has been using the property as a vacation residence; however, they have said they plan to rebuild the structure in the future.
