68 degrees year round .....
There used to be a big ole house/store near there (Moab) called the hole in the rock.
Sold Navajo curios, souvenirs, tourist trap stuff.
It could be 100 degrees outside and it was cool and dry inside, neat place 'cept they painted HOLE IN THE ROCK in great big white letters on the side of the mountain, kida ruined the whole thing and made it seem cheeep.

IIRC there was also a gas station in the rock.

What could be cooler than this house? At least that is what I thought in the 70s.

Yes, I'm familiar with it, though I've never visited it. My grandmother (Nadine Davis) remarried late in life to Hub Davis. Hub was the son of the original owner/builder (or maybe he was a stepchild, don't know for sure). Anyway, Hub owned Hole in the Rock until about 2000.

Small world, eh?

Thanks! Can't wait. Very large garage(s) included!

Small world indeed.
Haven't been by there in decades, I wonder if it's still there?

Yup, still there, busy as ever. Drove by it this spring on the way to the Grand Canyon.

More weird than cool I suppose...

Greene & Greene - my faves!
 

They were brothers. One was an architect and one was an artist. Their father was a pulmonologist who moved west to treat breathing disorders. The boys were raised to believe in well ventilated and sunlit homes. Many wealthy customers from the east would commission them to build homes in So Cal. One prominent feature were sleeping porches off of the bedrooms.

Another signature feature was exposed joinery so you could see how it was put together!

The brothers designed the whole package. The stair-stepped motif is repeated everywhere. The designed the carpets, the drapes (curtain rods are of ebony), and all the furniture.
