The “Volcano House”

Volcano House

The flying saucer resembling  ”Volcano House”  looks out over a 60-acre property midway between Las Vegas and Los Angeles in Newberry Springs. The house was designed by architect Harold J. Bissner, Jr. in 1968 and belonged to broadcaster Huell Howser until his death recently. The inspiration? San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, a nuclear plant in northwestern San Diego county. Now, it’s been donated to Chapman University.

  3. Could you live there though? I’d be scrawling ‘red rum’ across mirrors with a fortnight.
