一條擺放在屋頂上超過30年的鯊魚藝術品，擺放初期被警告要求拆除，至今天將可能成為Oxford的地標之一。
鯊魚的由來
這條高25英尺的鯊魚雕像，在1986由屋主Bill Heine和朋友親手放上屋頂，讓他們在屋頂上喝茶聊天和看風景。他個人非常享受作品和成果，但附近的居民並非如此，居民極之不滿，憂心房價被這條鯊魚拉低，因此向市政府投訴。Magnus當時並沒有向市政府申請批文，便私自改動房屋的外觀，市政府亦怕Bill開了先例（怕有其他人有樣學樣），因此警告要求他拆掉這條鯊魚。
Bill當然不願意，認為他有個人自由在自己的房屋範圍內，無須經任何人同意下擺放任何裝飾的藝術品。市政府從各方面入手，例如：違反法例、結構上有危險 等等，來阻止Bill繼續擺放。Bill在各方面的人士（法律/建築上）幫忙之下，與市政府經過5年的抗爭時間，市政府決定放棄才得以保存這鯊魚雕像。
鯊魚屋變成了AirBnB
鯊魚得以保存，亦成為遊客朝聖的打卡景點。
鯊魚屋在2019年靈魂人物Bill病逝後，由兒子Magnus Hanson-Heine繼承，Magnus沒有自住，而是將這個非常有代表性的鯊魚屋出租，變成Airbnb旅館。鯊魚屋的位置
今日的市政府180度轉變
30年前市政府出盡方法來拆除這個鯊魚雕像，但今日的市政府對這條鯊魚的態度180度大轉變，市政府竟然主動要求將這藝術品列為歷史遺物（不能隨意拆除），現時正在進行問卷調查，資詢附近居民的意見後，將會成為Oxford一個著名地標。
