Question

Monsanto's "House of the Future" at Disneyland was an all-plastic structure (using approximately 30,000 pounds, or 13,600 kilograms, of plastic), that was designed to depict how we would live in 1986. Rot proof and mass producible, this house was designed in the 1940s, 50s, or 60s?

Answer

Monsanto’s House of the Future opened to the public in Disneyland’s Tomorrowland in 1957. It was destroyed, with great difficulty, in 1967. Almost indestructible, the traditional tools of the demolition — wrecking balls, saws, torches and jackhammer — proved ineffective. Ultimately hacksaws and cables were used to cut it into pieces and wrench it apart.
