Summary
The Kaplon "Steel House" on Petersville Road in Rosemont where Myer Kaplon lived with his wife Oshyie and children Mortimer and Bernice. Mr. Kaplon had the aluminum-based house built in 1933 after seeing an archetype at the World's Fair in Chicago that year. It looks very different today.
Judging from the 1968 Chevy Caprice parked out front, this photo was taken sometime in the late 1960s or early 1970s.
John Younkins "I rode this by house many times As a kid on my bike. I thought it was the coolest house in Rosemont. Now that I know the history, it was before the times. Kaplan had the vision. The construction was so unique. Exterior of aluminum! The people in Rosemont could not understand the uniqueness. I should have bought the house and restored and moved it to another prominent location."
