Many Delawareans have driven past the roadside spaceship on Route 1, just outside of Lewes. While it's sure to catch your eye, did you ever realize that this oddity was actually somebody's house?
Very few Futuro houses remain standing today, and while they're all unique, they were each designed to offer modern conveniences in a minimalist home. You could say they were the first of the "Tiny Home" trend!
The house is still occupied today, so if you're going to visit, make sure to not disturb the homeowner. This one-of-a-kind roadside oddity sure gets a lot of attention.
