After World War I, Houseconcluded that society was too sick to survive and founded a cult dedicated to the god known as the Dark One. The House Mining Company was founded in 1927 on the island that would house the ark centuries later. Every building in town was built by and his followers, including the mine, the Summerville Foundry, the school, and the library. The whole town was essentially one big mining operation. His name was placed on everything. In secret, Shandor had also built a temple dedicated to Gozer within the town's selenium mine. The temple was inscribed with the years in which Gozer would return, and contained a sacrificial pit which would also serve as the interdimensional gateway in which Gozer could return. All of selenium bored out of the mine was smelted into cold-riveted selenium girders then sent from Summerville to New York City. He was also the architect of 550 Central Park West in New York, using unusual materials such as the cold-riveted girders with cores of pure selenium, magnesium-tungsten alloys, and gold plated bolts. Shandor designed the building in a fashion exactly like the telemetry trackers NASA uses to identify dead pulsars in deep space He made the structure to conducted rituals with his secret society. The rituals were designed to bring about the end of the world and a way for Gozer to enter this dimension. On May 20, 1945, the mining operation was forced to shut down after the Shandor Mining Company's miners committed mass suicide by leaping down the mine shaft to their death. The incident was named "The Shandorian Curse." Ivo Shandor passed away at some point in 1945. By that time, Shandor had amassed close to 1000 followers. His body was interred within the temple he built in Summerville. His body would remain perfectly preserved within its glass sarcophagus.
