The 'House of Tomorrow,' according to yesterday

Some homes wear their history on their sleeve ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ [View on the web]([Click to view images]( Imagine a home where ice cascades from its second-story windows onto the front lawn, frozen in place through the Detroit winter. All houses have histories, but not too many have pasts with such drama. The so-called Ice House (and its burst pipes) has been thoroughly rehabbed, and it's for sale for just shy of $700,000. Another home with an interesting provenance cropped up this week: LA's House of Tomorrow, exhibited at the 1962 LA County Fair, whose midcentury-futuristic vibe now provides delightfully confusing retro feelings. And if jazz is more your scene, try San Francisco's saxophone-shaped home. —Emma [Click to view images]( [Renovated midcentury modern home asks $1.29M in Portland, Oregon]( Complete with a dreamy artist studio [Click to view images]( [In New Orleans, a circa-1900 shotgun conversion asks $300K]( A modern update to a classic design [Click to view images]( [Former ‘Ice House’ in Detroit has been rehabbed—and it looks stunning]( The home that once had an ice waterfall flowing from the second-story windows is now listed for $699,995 [Click to view images]( [1960s ‘Home of Tomorrow’ asking $739K in Los Angeles]( The eclectic, all-electric residence was exhibited at the 1963 LA County Fair, then relocated to its current location [Click to view images]( [Boston contemporary with six-plus bathrooms, roof deck asks $6.5M]( Four-level house also comes with several bedrooms and lots and lots of natural light [Click to view images]( [In Brooklyn, a sleek townhouse asks $1.85M]( The house has a patio and a garden [Click to view images]( [This jazzy Berkeley, California, home looks like a saxophone]( And it could be worth $1.89M [Click to view images]( [Live in an eclectic midcentury Philadelphia ‘time capsule’ for $475K]( Mirrored walls, floor-to-ceiling windows, and so much more [Click to view images]( [Updated modern in Austin asks $2M]( A two-story home built in 1950 has been adapted well to the eras that followed Facebook Twitter Instagram Curbed This email was sent to {EMAIL}.
