Our Fair House: Restoring Indiana's Century of Progress Homes
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 жов 2020
- Ambitious, optimistic, passionate, crazy - all terms that have been used to describe restorers of Beverly Shores’ famed Century of Progress houses, moved to Indiana by barge after the conclusion of the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair. Join Todd Zeiger, Indiana Landmarks Northern Regional Office director, for a conversation with lessees Bill and Lisa Beatty of the Florida Tropical House, and Ross Gambril of the Rostone House as they share the laughs and headaches endured converting temporary show houses into weekend retreats. Discover the motivation it takes to pour money into a National Park Service property you don’t own and what you do when tourists make themselves at home on your rooftop patio.
This virtual event was hosted on October 29, 2020 by Preserving Historic Places, Indiana's Statewide Preservation Conference -- a partnership of Indiana Landmarks, Indiana Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology, and Indiana University.

I appreciate this information. I have been doing research on my own for a very long time each time I wish to learn about something. The homes sprinkled in all the small towns in Indiana and of course Indianapolis are my favorite subject. Absolutely fascinating.
As my landlord of a 1924 house when I bought a 1947 house, "Old houses take a lot of money." Understatement.
Amazing with all this progress and diligent work and now the earth is swallowing it up. Build the sea wall or move the house.
Thank you so much for this webinar and narrative! Really appreciate the links being shared with the update on the tours being cancelled this year. THANK YOU!
