[Corey Jackson, 01/25/2023]This particular Futuro had been falling into decay for years. They're easily moved, so perhaps it was trucked away by someone who wants to restore it -- somewhere.
The Futuro House is still there, but it's pretty banged up and appears to have been abandoned for years. You can't access the inside as the only entry point is boarded up.

This Futuro, originally designed in 1968 by Finnish architect Matti Suuronen, was trucked from its previous home in Wisconsin. Then it was gutted, painted, furnished, and is now rented out to glampers. Its owners claim that it has "a creative and positive energy," although probably not enough to launch it into space.
