The Ridge Historical Society does not routinely get involved in real estate transactions or even listings, except to help with house history requests.
However, this unique listing is worth mentioning from a historical and aesthetic viewpoint.
One of the Homes of Tomorrow from the 1933 Chicago's World Fair Exhibition is now available.
The Florida Tropical House was moved to Beverly Shores, Indiana, by barge in 1935 with five other houses from the exhibit. Today, four of the houses, including this one, comprise the Century of Progress Historic Architectural District.
You don't actually get to own the house. For a very substantial sum, you get a long-term lease from the National Park Service, as well as the obligation to preserve and maintain the house, and make it open one day per year for public viewing. That event usually happens one day each Fall, and a chance to tour these houses is a must-see attraction.
The green art deco bathroom is the selling point for me!
