No creatures, human or otherwise, were around when we passed by this remarkable edifice on Interstate 40 west of Flagstaff, Arizona in February, 1997. We're still wondering, but see below for likely explanations.

The lower levels feature a large kitchen and a family room. The upper floor is the main bedroom and has magnificent views of the surrounding countryside. |

It was built as a novelty restaurant many years ago-- I think it was meant to be a "space age" type idea. After sitting empty for many, many years, it is now a private residence-- bought by an employee of Ford Motor Company. Ford has a proving grounds nearby which I've had the privilege of visiting, and that is the story told me by another employee there. He claims the woman who owns it works there with him. Could be just a good story, but thought I'd pass it along." Thanks, Virginia! |
