This house in Southcentral Kentucky was built by an eclectic WWII Veteran in 1968. He collected fossils, rocks, and minerals from all 50 states and around the world. He included them all into the outside mosaic, mantle, fireplace, and outbuildings.
Most of the fossils are crinoids from the local area. However, some sections include locally-collected meteorites and even a small Moon specimen.

The wood was hewn from old-growth cherry trees still standing in the county. Eventually timber harvesting and processing became major local industry, but some large trees still stand on the property.

The living room and deck overlook a golf course on a rough Karst and sinkhole terrain.
