Question: Where in Texas can you spend the night in a steel house resembling a spaceship?
Answer: Ransom Canyon, about 20 minutes east of Lubbock. The bizarre structure was built by Robert Bruno, a sculptor and Texas Tech professor, from 1973 until his death in 2008. Constructed from 150 tons of hand-welded blackened steel, the 2,450-square-foot house stands on four legs and offers spectacular views of a nearby lake through its many stained-glass windows. In 2022, Bruno’s daughter sold the house to the current owners, who completed it and turned it into a highly-rated Airbnb rental.
