probably a UFO enthusiast, Curtis King built this house in 1972. It's located along a hairpin turn along highway US127 heading up to Signal Mountain.
The staircase which comes below was originally motorized and would retract up into the house, but it no longer works. (according to legend, one couple who owned the house had an argument, the wife retracted the stairs up and then moved the car where the stairs would lower, thus trapping the husband inside!)
When constructed, many futuristic details were added, such as rounded rooms and furniture. It had an entertainment room and full bar. The 2000 sqft house originally cost $250,000.
In the nearly 50 years since construction, it has changed owners several times, and at one point was available as a vacation rental.
