Donaldson Futuro Has Landed!

Architect Milford Wayne Donaldson FAIA has had a long friendship with James Hubbell and Ilan-Lael — for almost half a century — and he is an active board member of our Foundation. But that’s only one side of the Donaldson story! The long history of the Donaldson Futuro‘s original design by Finnish architect Matti Suuronen, its fabrication in 1969 in Philadelphia, the journey to San Diego, and ultimate home in Idyllwild makes for fascinating reading, whether you’re an architecture buff or not. It has recently been been designated California Registered Historical Landmark No. 1062.

Look inside!
