The man who designed and built The House on the Rock was Wisconsin-native Alex Jordan, Jr. (1914-1989). Around the year 1940, Jordan discovered a 60-foot chimney of rock in rural Spring Green and decided to build a weekend retreat, using his knowledge of construction that he attained by working for his father.
In 1960, Alex Jordan opened his dream house built atop a chimney of rock to the public. Over the years, Alex expanded his vision beyond the House and collected and built on a massive scale. What began as a lofty retreat with an awe-inspiring view has become a spectacular attraction known as The House on the Rock.
The 2017 film American Fable features parts of the house, including the carousel and Infinity Room, in a dream sequence. The 1997 10,000 Maniacs music video for “More Than This” was filmed at the House. The 2019 Raconteurs music video for “Somedays (I Don’t Feel Like Trying)” was also filmed there.
The House on the Rock in Wisconsin is valued at over $4.8 million. This includes the carousel, which is worth over $4.8 million itself. The complex houses thousands of artifacts, antiques, and custom artwork, contributing to its overall high value. The House on the Rock is a privately held, family-run business, according to their website.
