Interested visitors from throughout Indiana and neighboring states swarmed across the grounds and through the homes open for inspection. The “homes of the future” constructed over the last several weeks by Ralph S. Brydon Co. are houses of Spanish, Italian, American Colonial, French, and English styles designed by architects Pierre & Wright include every possible modern convenience. The five houses are built entirely of noncombustible materials with interior and exterior walls of cinder blocks, and facades of either stuccoed or brick. The floors and stairs are reinforced concrete, and the roof is slate. Nearly 100,000 visitors are expected to view the houses in the next ten days.
