Indiana Landmarks is looking for a private citizen to take over the House of Tomorrow from Chicago's 1933 World's Fair in order to fund its restoration. 

Working with the National Park Service, who acquired the property in the 1960s, they are offering a 50-year lease to whomever can cover the estimated $3 million cost of bringing the building to federal standards. The lease comes with preliminary plans, permits, and architectural drawings from the Chicago firm bKL Architecture.

Designed by the American modernist architect George Fred Keck, the eight-sided glass structure is one of the 12 Century of Progress homes, which were intended to show off the future of living. After the Fair, the House of Tomorrow (along with four others), was moved across the lake to Beverly Shores, Indiana, and is now under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service due to its proximity to the Indiana dunes. 

Now in disrepair, preservationists are focused on bringing it up to code and addressing the home's inefficiencies, such as the solar heat gain which caused half of the house to be closed during the Fair. With contemporary building materials and technology, they are hoping to restore the structure to be the House of Tomorrow for today. 

Indiana Landmarks has used this unique arrangement in the past to restore the other four homes, typically finding individuals who have a passion for historic preservation or an interest in World's Fair homes. Here, they are hoping to repeat their success.
