Though actively used for exploration since the early 1800s, this cave in Arkansas was left unchanged until 1983 -

“Openings were left for windows for the oak-paneled kitchen and living room and for an arched, walnut-framed entrance way” -

“In the event of the Holocaust, all these openings can be sealed with concrete blocks” -

“Inside, Hay followed the cave’s natural, high-roofed contours “The architect was God,” he said”. It even has a natural waterfall inside -
