Century of Progress Architectural District (ID86001472)
Added to NRHP
June 30, 1986[4]
The Florida Tropical House is a beach house located on Lake Michigan's shoreline in Beverly Shores, Indiana, US. It was built in 1933 as part of the Homes of Tomorrow Exhibition at the 1933 World's Fair in nearby Chicago. Today it is part of the Century of Progress Architectural District, a historic district.
After years of disrepair, the house is being renovated and is subleased to a private renter who has agreed to cover the restoration costs. The house was designed so its inside and outside environments can be continuous. Its exterior was designed in the Modernist style by architect Robert Law Weed and painted a Floridian pink.
The house, with four other 1933 exhibition homes nearby, were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. They are collectively known as the World's Fair Houses.[4]
