No creatures, human or otherwise, were
around when we passed by this remarkable edifice on Interstate
40 west of Flagstaff, Arizona in February, 1997. We're still
wondering, but see below for likely explanations.

According
to the Home and Garden TV channel web site, the mysterious
Golf Ball House is currently the residence of Ardell
and Hank Schimmer, who spent seven years creating
a home from the abandoned structure, which was once
a nightclub. The lower levels feature a large kitchen
and a family room. The upper floor is the main bedroom
and has magnificent views of the surrounding countryside.

"While
enjoying your site this evening, I saw this photo.
It turns out that I've actually been told about it!
It was built as a novelty restaurant many years ago--
I think it was meant to be a "space age"
type idea. After sitting empty for many, many years,
it is now a private residence-- bought by an employee
of Ford Motor Company. Ford has a proving grounds
nearby which I've had the privilege of visiting, and
that is the story told me by another employee there.
He claims the woman who owns it works there with him.
Could be just a good story, but thought I'd pass it
along."
