Im exploring the now demolished Apple Valley Hilltop House in Apple Valley California just days prior to its 2022 demolition.

The Hilltop House was built in 1957 by Newton T. Bass "founder of Apple Valley" where he lived primarily until 1967 when the house fell victim arson. The house was eventually rebuilt but was repurposed as office space and a now smaller living quarters where Mr. Bass would host many of his guests. Among many of the guests to stay at the house  was former president Richard Nixon. It is rumored that the former president spent his time at the house writing a portion of his memoir.

In 2016 the town of Apple Valley acquired the house and the surrounding property with hopes to restore the house. These plans were soon scrapped, and the city set out to have the house demolished, and in May of 2022, the city voted unanimously to tear the house down. Plans are, as of (October 2022) to place an observation deck on what is now known as Bass Hill on the former site of the home.
