Overview
About a century ago, Albert and Gladys Christensen began chipping away sandstone to build an alcove for their boys to sleep in at night. 12 years later, they had excavated 50,000 cubic feet of rock. During this time, Albert painted his famous Sermon on the Mount and constructed a sculpture of Franklin D. Roosevelt on his house. In 1957, he passed and his wife continued to work on their home until the engineering marvel was completed.
The Hole in the Rock house is 5000 square feet with a 65 feet tall chimney. There are 14 rooms arranged around pillars complete with a bathtub built into the rock. Original furniture, paintings, and a doll collection are on display.
