House of the Future

Billed as the House of the Future. Monsanto Corporation developed and built the prototype house of the future in 1953. Made mostly of plastic and designed for functionality, the house featured a futuristic design that was sure to catch on and create a several billion dollar industry.   Guess the general public wasn’t quite ready for this just yet.
Certainly looks light and airy…
and little or no upkeep… now that works for me.

Looks interesting to me…

1280 sq foot of wonderful views…
gonna need a lot of curtains.
or better yet,  modern technology…
“LCD” windows that lighten, darken,
or blackout complete with stars,
or any scene you program.

Can’t imagine why this didn’t catch on.
Would have been great at the ocean or lake!
Maybe their future home just too early…
maybe they’ll try again… 50 years later.
