History

An eleven-minute short documentary film, Some Kind of Quest, documents the origins of the site.[2]

When Zaccagnino retired the premises changed hands and were almost demolished. However, the new owner, Tariq Sohail, marveled by the layout's spectacular details and scenery, ultimately decided to retain it. The renovated site opened in October 2019.[3][4]
