On Highway 191 in eastern Utah is a 5,000 square foot fully equipped 1940s home. Above: Today and in the 1950s.
Albert and Gladys Christensen built “Hole N’ The Rock” in Moab, Utah, over the course of more than 20 years, with Mr. Christensen chipping away at some 50,000 cubic feet of sandstone.
It began as a small alcove for their 2 boys to sleep in.
And, it grew into a man-made living marvel.
Al carved out 14 rooms arranged around large pillars.
He even carved a tub out of rock.
Along with Al’s collection of taxidermy and his paintings, there’s also a collection of creepy dolls.
Here’s Gladys sitting in her kitchen.
Al even built a luncheonette counter and souvenir stand for tourists.
He added this sculpture in the rock.
Even some humor.
Look at this Jeep made of scrap.
And, this 2 story outhouse.
It’s still open and you can visit. They’ve added a zoo, a trading post, a general store, s museum, and a collection of metal art.
Look at how massive it is. Looks like someone starting boring in the rock on the upper level too.
