[3] and built between 1942 and 1944 by Case Construction Company of San Pedro, California, the Bubble Houses were designed by architect Wallace Neff using his patented airform Monolithic dome system, consisting of reinforced concrete cast in place over an inflatable balloon made by the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company.
[4] The Double Bubble House consisted of two single units joined by a conventional single-story structure.
Each Bubble House contained two bedrooms and one bath, a kitchen, living room, pantry with refrigerator, and patio.
[6] Described as "ideal accommodation for golfers", rates for staying in the Bubble Houses were set at US$42 per night, for two people, during the 1958–59 season.
In the 1980s Goodyear sold the Wigwam project and the new owners demolished all four bubble houses.
