A house that once belonged to Huell Howser, the Volcano House was originally built by a rocket scientist -- and the home's interior amenities, including completely original mid-century furnishings and a metal control-room-style panel for every light switch in the house certainly speak to the occupation and era of the creator himself (if the UFO-like design wasn't enough).

Sitting 150 feet high on top of a dormant cinder cone volcano in Newberry Springs, California, the Volcano House lacks anything but individuality and one of the best views of the night sky California has to offer.

Howser willed the home to Chapman University upon his passing, which gave opportunity to then photograph the home over a three-day period before it was subsequently sold to another excited owner September, 2015. Exteriors of the home also served as the eerie “headquarters” in Olivia Wilde’s “Don’t Worry, Darling” (2022).
