Fascinating photos show the plastic ‘house of the future’ that 20million Disneyland visitors flocked to in the 1960s
The Monsanto House Of The Future, was an attraction at Disneyland, California, from 1957 to 1967
FASCINATING photographs show the now-closed “Home Of The Future” that was once a huge attraction at Disney’s Tomorrowland.
The Monsanto House Of The Future was an attraction at Disneyland California, from 1957 to 1967, and stunning snaps from Disney Avenue show the house in all its former glory.
The 13,000sq ft house was sponsored by the Monsanto Company and the house was created jointly by Monsanto, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Walt Disney Imagineering.
The futuristic fibreglass components of the attraction were assembled into the house on-site and the finished attraction offered a tour of a “home of the future”.
The house had been imagined to look like a home from the year 1986 - and featured household appliances such as microwaves and dishwashers that would eventually become commonplace in homes across the globe.
The living space was built from a plastic-walled, pod-like structure held up by a 16sqft block of concrete.
Earlier this week, we revealed how Disney fans who get married in front of the famous castle can pay up to £140,000 for the experience and we also showed inside Walt Disney’s secret Club 33 where members pay £20k to enjoy booze, a jazz bar and luxury apartments.
