Century of Progress Homes in Michigan City, Indiana
Nestled along the beaches of Lake Michigan in Beverly Shores, Indiana, a row of five homes stand out. Built for the 1933 Chicago’s World Fair, these homes were a part of nearly a dozen designed for the Homes of Tomorrow Exhibition. These houses were meant to showcase what the homes of the future might look like, and featured futuristic furnishing and experiential materials. After the fair closed, five of the homes were purchased by Robert Bartlett and moved from Chicago to Indiana. Since their transportation over 90 years ago, the homes have undergone renovations thanks to the National Park Service, the state of Indiana, the Indiana Landmarks, and private individuals. The outside of each home can be accessed by the public year-round. However, Indiana Landmarks hold an annual tour the last week of September, where attendees can enter into the first floor of the Florida Tropical, Rostone, Armco-Ferro, and Cypress houses. The last home, The House of Tomorrow, is currently being restored, with renovation set to end in 2025.
