No, no one came out of this structure to greet us during a drive through Frisco, North Carolina. This is the Futuro House, one of the ideas from the Sixties that didn't quite catch on.
The facility is a portable home, supposedly good in any environment. It's compact and thus cost-effective. But it was something of an eye-sore in rural locations, and the end of the space race probably didn't help its popularity either.
There are a few Futuro Houses scattered around the world. Here's the map of them.
This is a rather odd stop, since it's not exactly in a new housing development. You can walk up the steps and peek inside, but it's a storage area and a dirty one at that. No one will be beamed up in this structure anytime soon.
