The office is covered with metal siding to lessen the risk of fire to the office and surrounding buildings. This helped ensure the safe keeping of records as well. The Bottle House and Collection was purchased by the Rockyford History Book Club in August 1994 and donated to the Village of Rockyford.

Chrissie Pedersen was born December 20, 1911 approximately six miles south of Rockyford. Chrissie has lived in the area all her life. She started collecting bottles around 1976. One of the areas Chrissie cultivated to collect her bottles were disposal sites.   Thanks to her a part of our history has been preserved. The Bottle House and Collection was opened to the public in May 1995.
