Historic $70,000 Underground Home in Missouri Survives Decades and Tornadoes

$70K underground Missouri home from 1976 survived F4 tornado, still hidden

Built in 1976 for $70,000, a remarkable underground home in Springfield, Missouri, was designed to blend into the hillside while providing strength and energy efficiency. Nearly 50 years later, the concrete residence remains largely hidden from view and has an extraordinary history, including surviving a devastating F4 tornado that struck the neighbourhood in 1990.
