The Flintstones lived in a little bungalow with a flat roof. I had forgotten this. I thought they lived in a cave. The BC Characters live in caves but the Flintstones do not.
Anyway, what sent me on that little dive was this short piece on the Stone House in Portugal. It's apparently rumored to be modeled on houses on The Flintstones. It doesn't really look like them, though. It doesn't look like anything else I've seen, really. Probably an interesting place to live.

I may have remembered the Flintstones living in their bungalow next door to Betty and Barney Rubble. I always thought they were loosely based on the Honeymooners, just with different jobs. Oddly enough there happens to be a construction company here in Victoria called Flintstones.
On the other hand I had forgotten the inspired BC comics. Thanks for the reminder.
The Stone House in Portugal doesn't look particularly comfortable but it is a step up from the neighborhood in Bedrock. The one that does look cozy enough for Fred and Wilma nowadays might be this one:
