It is for "gentle and artistic runoff of rainwater". Makes neat patterns in the dirt. <br/><br/>That house is worth the money because of the interesting patina it has formed. You couldn't build that house accurately, only time can shape it! That alone folks, is worth the price of admission. <br/><br/>Besides, it IS Southern California!!!!! The roof is designed like that.
