And now a little history..
So, this is the House On The Rock. It's located in Spring Green, Wisconsin. It was built by Frank Lloyd Wright in the 1940's. He built it on a rock (hence the name). When you go through the house part of the tour, you'll notice that the space is very condensed. The ceilings can't be more than 6 1/2 feet above the ground. I found out during the tour that he made the space so small because he was fascinated in the Chinese culture, which is evident in some of the statues and decorations. Different places in the "house" (there was a lot added on that certainly wasn't a part of his house) showed his collections of various items which included dolls, doll houses, miniature circus figures, and guns. Yes, random. There's also an Infinity Room that juts out 218 feet from the building without any kind of support underneath. Needless to say, I didn't go out that far. I barely made it halfway. I got freaked out and turned around when I felt it shaking. There's also a carousel. That you can't ride on--weee! So all in all, go here if you want to see dolls, dolls, more dolls, Chinese statues, and guns. Oh, and he's not gay.
