Update 080913 The photo below was shot by Nan Palmero on 072813. The photo, shown below under CC 2.0 license clearly shows signs of degradation in the body of this Futuro. This not new and can be seen in many earlier photos but Nan's photo shows the degradation very clearly. Original Images 090811 In addition to taking the shot of the Milton Futuro featured above kaszeta also took a couple of shots of a Futuro brochure that was displayed in the Blue Plate Diner in Lewes, DE just a short distance from the Futuro. These shots are diaplayed here courtesy of kaszeta. The most recent photos I have seen of the Milton Futuro set the confirmed date to 092412 and were taken by vmanpics. They are reproduced here with permission. I have always tended to use Google Maps/Street View and/or Google Earth for my research with Bing Maps only being a fall back on a few occaisions. However in the case of the Milton Futuro Google Street View only provides a very distant, unclear and grainy view of the Futuro whereas Bing Maps and its "Bird's Eye View" perspective provides a rather cool view of the Futuro as seen below. View In Bing Maps There is no shortage of photos of this Futuro. Check a few of them out using these links: Photo by Casa Highland \| Image Date 061612 Photo by d_j_critchley \| Image Date 090709 Geocaching Gallery \| Images 112503 to 082212 [As at 092512] Photo by lavardera \| Image Date 050504 Photos by Morton Fox taken 122309 here, here and here Photos by Morton Fox taken 120802 here, here and here A very black & white by Robin Grotke \| Image Date 061812 Photo by tackyjulie \| Image Date 092109		Update 031813 I received an email from Barney Vincelette, owner of the Houston Futuro this morning; Barney tells me that the Milton Futuro was located in Broadkill Beach until the late 1970's before being moved to its current location. A second Futuro in Broadkill Beach was demolished. Update 012613 In a post in the Yahoo Group futurohouse dated 010513 Barney Vincelette, owner of the Houston Futuro dropped a little nugget of information relating to this Futuro. In the comment Vincelette tells us that this Futuro is owned by Joe Hudson: "who was selling them until about 1977 when he sold me (Vincelette) my Futuro House in Houston, DE" To me it is cool to learn that at least one of this individuals who was involved in the "business" of Futuro's retains ownership of one to this day. Original Information 090811 For a Futuro that has been photographed as much as this one there is, surprisingly, almost no information on its history on the web; at least not that I have been able to find. Google Earth has satellite imagery dated 032392 which clearly shows the Futuro on site so it has been at its present location for at least twenty years but other than that there is really no information out there other than a few blog posts and articles which have photos but no information: Four Corners Dark \| Blog post with some nice photos roadsideamerica.com \| Short post and one photo roadsidegalore.com \| Photo blog post with two great photos It seems likely that the Futuro is inhabited at least part of the time. Various photographs show blinds in different positions and regular day to day articles visible in the windows. A couple of photos show washing hanging out to dry beside the Futuro. The fourth picture from vmanpics in the left column shows clearly that there is a well maintained and secure looking "inner door". In addition to the photographic evidence there is one comment in a forum post in Yahoo Groups which suggests that the owner uses the Futuro in the summer. Other than that this unit is a mystery. If you have any information that could shed some light on the history of this Futuro please let me know; thanks.

I am always looking for additional information, history, details, images, videos; just about anything Futuro I guess - if you would like to contribute please use the Futuro Contact Form at the bottom of the main article or email me. As far as images go I am particularly interested in those that are either significantly better than the ones already on this page or show a different aspect or detail. If you own an image meeting one or both of those criteria I would love to be able to use it on this page but I will simply provide a link if that is your preference.
