In 1945, Alex Jordan decided to build a house. But not just any house and not one in any old location, either. The sandstone formation of Deer Shelter Rock, Wisconsin, was once a 60-foot sheer column of rock jutting out of a southern Wisconsin forest.
At first, the structure that Jordan built on that site was intended to be nothing more than a spot for weekend getaways and campouts. That soon changed.
Today, the thirteen-room house that Jordan built is just one part of a remarkably large complex of buildings, collectively known and revered as the House on the Rock. One after another, spaces and rooms began to house collections upon collections, from the exotic to the everyday. Jointly, they present an exceptional experience, one marveled at daily by curious visitors from nearly every reach of the globe.
If you haven’t visited in person, you may have already gotten a glimpse of House on the Rock thanks to ample television coverage — it’s also been featured on Ripley’s television series. That’s not all — QVC filmed a segment on-site, American Pickers visited in 2016 and series American Gods even filmed an episode there.
The house has had its share of rocking, too. The Jack White-led Raconteurs recorded a video for their “Somedays (I Don’t Feel Like Trying)” track here, and 10,000 Maniacs dropped by to film a music video for their cover of Roxy Music’s “More Than This” in 1997.
It was all born of Jordan’s love for the sacred Deer Shelter Rock spot itself.
