HOUSE OF THE DAY: Howard Hughes' Former Lake Tahoe Getaway Is On The Market For $19.5 Million

The 2,518-square-foot "Summertide" is being sold by Chase International, and it remains very much as it was when Hughes owned it. The property has only changed hands once — Bruce James, former Public Printer of the U.S., and his wife Nora purchased it in 1995 and have made very few changes to the home since then.

Hughes, once one of the richest men in the world, was reportedly something of a recluse and bought the cabin in the 1950s to use as an escape.
