Southport Beach House
Southport Beach House, Art Deco beach house in Kenosha, United States
The Southport Beach House combines geometric Art Deco architecture with Tudor Revival details and Mediterranean Revival elements on Lake Michigan's southwestern shore.
Built in 1940 during the Great Depression, the beach house project employed over 1000 local workers through New Deal programs to repurpose materials from condemned buildings.
The marble Art Deco ballroom features geometric decorations created from materials salvaged from an old post office, demonstrating Depression-era resourcefulness.
Located at 7825 First Avenue, the beach house provides changing facilities on the lower level and maintains spaces for public gatherings and events.
The building incorporates salvaged marble and stone elements from demolished structures, integrating them into its architectural design through creative repurposing methods.
