I would love to see a video about the "Grotto of Redemption" in Iowa, almost nobody knows about it even here in the biggest city in Iowa, Des Moines. I greatly enjoy all your videos, keep up the quality work!

lonestarrider Another great one man building project! To be honest, I could really see myself going down this path. You start on something cool, and just keep building and building. Smith Mansion in Wyoming is a great one as well! www.atlasobscura.com/places/smith-mansion

Looks pretty amazing! I'd love to explore that place. Even if it does look like a tinderbox ready to go up.
@atlasobscura9 жыл бұрын
Me Auntie Nora I totally agree! I think despite it being "closed" it's not to hard to go poke around and no one, including Burgess himself is going to stop you. Just saying.

Atlas Obscura I admit, I'm not against that sort of exploration. The few times I've done it I've had respect and preservation in mind, along with personal safety. It's just a shame that sort of situation tends to swing towards the negative end, with vandalism and disruptive gatherings becoming hard to control. Near me on Long Island, there's a park called Muttontown Preserve, which is actually a surprisingly large and rustic forested park whose trails roughly approximate the pre-industrial bridle paths that people used to get around on the north shore. Pretty interesting just to be there for the nature, in a highly-developed part of NY, but there are also many ruins of Gold Coast-era estates. In the 50's, the Albanian King Zog bought a mansion there (allegedly with a bucket of rubies and diamonds!) but never moved in. Legends spread of riches being hidden there, and looters made quick work of the place. By the 70's, local teens had a tradition of destructive parties and vandalism, and authorities had to raze it to the ground for reasons of safety... I hope the same doesn't happen to this treehouse! If you're ever in the area, I recommend a visit, especially if you enjoy the concept of "beautiful decay." You'll stumble on walled gardens and opulent fountains on cracked terraces being overgrown by vines in the middle of the woods.

Me Auntie Nora Yes, that place is amazing! When someone tried to assassinate King Zog he shot back at them! King Zog for the win! (I think he was actually a bad dude in general, but still, that's pretty tough.)

Centipede As a matter of fact it does sometimes. The minister allows homeless folks to stay the night in the Treehouse as an act of charity and kindness. Good guy the Horace Burgess :)

Felipe Matheus They'd have all the wood sprayed and treated with fire-resistant chemical, wouldn't they? Like how some telephone poles are soaked with pesticide to prevent termites.
