They called it “Elara’s Folly” when the widow began blasting a home into the granite of the eastern ridge, certain no sensible woman would trade timber and glass for stone and earth. In 1891 outside Covenant, Elara followed her husband Elias’s engineering journals and carved The Anchorhold into solid rock, with double stone walls, hidden ventilation shafts, a snowmelt cistern, and a south-angled façade that held a steady 55°F even in deep winter. The hidden genius was her use of thermal mass and wind-dampened design—yielding to the mountain’s stability instead of standing exposed against the storm. When the White Death of December 1893 buried Covenant under 20 feet of snow and modern roofs failed, 40 townspeople survived inside her “Snow Grave,” and the town rebuilt by her lost building principles that endured for generations.
