The Wieboldt-Rostone House is located on the north side of Lake Front Drive, east of Dunbar Avenue. Designed by architect Walter Scholer of Lafayette, Indiana, for the Century of Progress Worlds Fair, this home was framed in steel and clad in an experimental material called Rostone.  The material, it turns out, had an unexpectedly short lifespan.
