Could This Be A "Fair" House?

Picture 4PrairieMod reader Debbie B. sends a link to a house for sale in Riverside, IL that is alleged to have been part of the Century of Progress Exposition in Chicago in 1933 (could it possibly be one of these houses?) We have not been able to find out much more about it, but maybe PrairieMod readers might know more. Can anyone substantiate this claim? See the listing and more photos here.

It appears it may be house number 4 designed by John C. B. Moore. Found a picture by going to images of the fair. Interiors by Gilbert Rohde. The exterior has been modified with sloping roofs.

Aside from having a white exterior it looks nothing like the John C. B. Moore house. If it was that house, it would mean that more than just the roofs had been modified - the entire structure would have been altered.

I was just wondering if this World's Fair Home was possibly the C.E. McDougall Residence pictured here: http://digital- libraries.saic.edu/cdm/singleitem/collection/mqc/id/33442/rec/15

The realtor confirmed that it is the McDougall, C.E., Residence found here:

The modifications/additions have destroyed any relevant historicity this house might have retained.
