Wieboldt-Rostone House, Century of Progress architectural site in Beverly Shores, Indiana, United States
The Wieboldt-Rostone House features a steel frame structure covered with experimental Rostone panels, combining limestone waste and shale materials throughout its exterior.
Originally constructed for the 1933 Century of Progress Exposition in Chicago, the house was transported across Lake Michigan by barge to Beverly Shores in 1935.
The building represents technological advancement in residential construction during the Great Depression through its use of innovative materials and architectural design methods.
Located at 208 Lake Front Drive with coordinates 41.68405, -87.00214, the house remains under National Park Service protection within Indiana Dunes National Park.
The original Rostone material deteriorated within a decade, requiring replacement with Perma-stone in 1950, yet fragments remain visible around the entrance and fireplace.
