The Hoosier Story - Lustron Houses

Host Anne Shaw speaks with Todd Zeiger about Lustron Homes. Lustron's are unique, prefabricated post-World War II housing made from enameled steel. These rare houses can be found scattered throughout the midwest.

This idea is something that needs to be looked at as the housing crisis escalates, new efficiencies and the ease to assemble is a win win. But made with the quality to last more than a lifetime

Thank you so much folks. There are some in Birmingham--so cool.

Sad this one is in bad shape. Hopefully it has been saved and restored to its glory days

The abandoned Lustron that they stood near is a rare model. Around here, west central Ohio, the Westchester model, in Maize yellow, is common.

Cool story. My cousin lived in the one there in Lebanon, IN.

They also made a couple in green.

They stopped making Lustron homes in 1959.

Cite source please. The Lustron Corporation closed in 1953 in bankruptcy Court. Last models were made on 1951/52.
