Cliffdome, The Dome upon the Cliff.

Cliffdome, The Dome upon the Cliff

1979: Cliffdome is completed. David B. South, founder of Monolithic, was a devoted father, but his motivation for building the massive 8,000-square-foot house was to use it as a sales tool.

He set out to prove Monolithic Domes could go beyond bulk storage—serving as offices, schools, hotels, concert halls, theme parks, and more. In the ten years they lived there, his family gave tours to over 1,000 visitors from around the world.
