Very interesting. So if the Volcano was already an empty building by 1973, it existed for only 5 years or so, which explains why there are so few ephemera in circulation.
Considering the timeline, the million Dollar investment might have been too hard to recouperate, since the late 60s were already the tail end of the Polynesian craze. The same thing happend to the Mauna Loa, a lavish Detroit Tiki Temple that only lasted a few years.
