Picture of a round stained glass window, surrounded by brown bricks. The window is back lit and glowing. The center of the glass design is a flower with many petals. Background on House on a Rock, from the Taliesin Preserve blog: The man who designed and built The House on the Rock was Wisconsin-native Alex Jordan, Jr.(1914-1989). Around the year 1940, Jordan discovered a 60-foot chimney of rock in rural Spring Green and decided to build a weekend retreat, using his knowledge of construction that he attained by working for his father. He worked tirelessly on the house for decades and built much of the original house himself, carrying materials up the steep rock cliff. In the end, however, he spent only four nights of his life there. According to author Doug Moe, the House on the Rock is not, “a business, it’s not an ego trip. It’s a creative idea…. And Alex Jordan is the one who breathed life into it.” Jordan began charging curious visitors 50 cents to tour the house, which paid for ongoing construction, the purchase of collections, and eventually the employment of sculptors. While both Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) and Jordan were Wisconsin natives, Jordan was neither an architect nor a Wright-apprentice in the Taliesin Fellowship. The confusion between these two people and places is understandable… The House on the Rock is just down the road from Taliesin and both are in rural Spring Green, Wisconsin. And Alex Jordan may have been influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright. According to former longtime manager of The House on the Rock, Jordan used to study a Wright-designed house in near his childhood home in Madison.

There’s no place quite as bizarre as #HouseOnTheRock in Wisconsin.

While exploring the many curiosities, creepy dolls, and massive indoor carousel, you also stumble upon a little beauty.

Took a break from re-edits, but this one felt right. It’s a quick tweak of the Japanese garden at House on the Rock—used Photomator’s cinematic filter and boom, it popped way more than my original. Still sharing trip shots, just with a fresh touch. 🔗 buff.ly/WqWT6Wt #Photography #HouseOnTheRock

Even w/ all its filthy velvety red interior - reeking of a Liberace-like feel, #HouseOnTheRock in Wisconsin looks way better than #Trump 's faux gold 💩
No matter how much money he'll amass through grifting & thievery, he'll never understand the expression #NoblesseOblige or ever rise to its meaning

Visited the #HouseOnTheRock for the first time yesterday. Absolutely wild place. Somehow even weirder than I expected. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

#HouseOnTheRock in Spring Green, Wisconsin, is terrifying for so many reasons. Small, carpeted spaces, a grown man's obsession with clowns and dolls, bad smells.

I just wonder how much the moral fiber of an artist should matter when we engage with great art.

The House on the Rock. Part Frank Lloyd Wright, part J. R. R. Tolkien, part Jules Verne, this house in Wisconsin was built by the J. D. Salinger of DIY homebuilders, Alex Jordan.

A black metal and red carpeted spiral staircase rises up between layers of black and red walkways, flanked by two-story tall copper wire coils. A gigantic fly wheel is recessed in the floor behind the stairs. Nothing makes sense, even in context.

First post here. Suppose I'll just upload some photos I've taken, some local, some from vacations; some old, some new. They've only ever lived on my phone.
Starting with this year's summer trip. First stop: House on the Rock, Wisconsin.

A wooden cock observes the carousel going by at the House On The Rock.

I am called Glad-of-War, Grim, Raider, and Third. I am One-eyed. I am Called Highest, and True-Guesser. I am Grimnir, and I am the Hooded One. I am All-Father, and I am Gondlir Wand-bearer. I have as many names as there are winds, as many titles as there are ways to die. - Wednesday

Entrance to the House On The Rock.

This place was as crazy as advertised and surpassed any expectation I had.
If in the area, definitely go. If not in the area, go to the area, AND then go.
