Noah's Ark - Say What?

"This steel skeleton occupies a sun-drenched hillside along Interstate 68 in the mountains of western Maryland. Reaching three stories high, its concrete foundation stretching the length of one-and-a-half football fields, the structure is an oddity -- as incongruous as, well, a boat on a mountaintop."
Hubs and I pass this monumental structure on our way to our son's home in Virginia. Research tells me that ground was broken in April of 1976 -- before the interstate was built. Now 30 years later it is still just a shell. It was the idea of Pastor Richard Greene who had dreams over a three month period in 1974. The Ark was to be constructed to the specifications of Noah's original Ark--450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high.
