Review & FAQ:

The Wilson House, designed by Ralph Sr who was the founder of Wilsonart, was constructed in 1959 to be Ralph and his wife’s private home until 1972, but also as a model home for laminate usage. The home was a test lab where Ralph could test his company’s products in a real home. The counters, cabinets, art, and home accessories are all made from laminate. The remarkable home became a National Landmark in 1998, and the house can be visited and toured by appointment only Monday through Friday.
