Rocky Point was originally the site of an exclusive restaurant. Built entirely by hand by a local junkman, Scott Crabtree, this structure sat high atop the rocky hill that inspired its name. It is located in a town called Pleasant View, just 35 miles north of Salt Lake City. It covered a substantial amount of ground and had three levels and a maze of passages; at
one point it even qualified as possessing the longest contiual rock wall made by one person, in the world.
The Rocky Point Restaurant was damaged in a mysterious fire just three years after its opening in 1965, but remained a roofless and eerie landmark in the area. The building sat vacant for ten years, until 1977 or so when Scott returned and decided he would rebuild building's unique architecture.
It by now had a reputation for being genuinely haunted. Stories were told of mysterious lights and peculiar accidents on the grounds; more than once visitors and people working with Scott to realize his dream, went to the hospital.
Scott continued to build and suffered many setbacks; both financial and personal. At one point, he was barely rescued from hanging himself in an upper floor gallery, by a Navajo man whom he'd befriended.
The original Rocky Point building caught fire again, in the fall of 1996. This time the blaze burned the rambling edifice to the ground; its cause remains unexplained. Scott again began to rebuild, but oddly enough, this was not the last time that the town of Pleasant View would see fire and smoke emanating from the skyline where the building perched like a sentinal.
It again caught fire in on a cold autumn night in late 1999 and was by now deemed irretreivably lost by the septagenarian Scott who had spent much of his life creating this peculiar landmark.
It's still sitting there, a wreckage of it former days.
