Armco-Ferro House, Historic residential building in Beverly Shores, Indiana, United States.
The Armco-Ferro House features a construction system of corrugated steel panels bolted together, with porcelain-enameled steel panels covering its exterior walls.
Originally constructed for the 1933 Century of Progress Exposition in Chicago, the house was later moved to its current location at Indiana Dunes National Park.
The house exemplifies the architectural movement toward mass-produced, affordable housing solutions for American families during the mid-twentieth century.
Located at 212 Lake Front Drive, the property opens for guided tours each fall alongside other Century of Progress homes in Beverly Shores.
The structure employs a box-like design that allows multiple orientations without compromising its integrity, making it the only surviving model from the exposition.
