Work continues to restore The House of Tomorrow. he foremost shocker at the 1933 “Century of Prog- Tress” Chicago World’s Fair, the attraction that charged extra to enter, was The House of Tomorrow. Perhaps it was the airplane? The house had two garages: one for a car and one for the airplane it was assumed we all would have in the future. There also was the dish washer that doubled as a clothes washer. Some of these elements did not show up in the future, while some would need the future to work properly, such as the glass exterior/air conditioning combi- nation.

These modern homes made great use of sunlight and open living spaces. With innovations such as air conditioning, central heat and time-saving kitchen appli- ances, many of these were wonders predicting how we would live in the future. Another goal was the intended affordability of these homes. Why did the houses travel to the Indiana side of the lake? Developer Robert Bartlett wanted to Unique Designs draw people to his new resort community, Beverly Shores. So, he bought these “myriad facets fl ashing countless rays of beauty” and transported them by barge across the lake, to continue the excitement ••• they generated at the World’s Fair.
