In Carbondale, IL, is the only dome that dome inventor Buckminster Fuller ever lived in. “Bucky” and his wife, Anne, lived there for 12 years, 1960-1972. The dome is now a historic landmark, and after 20 years of work, it has been fully restored to how it looked when the Fullers lived there-both outside…and INSIDE!
Please see these then and now photos!
