  • Description
  • Clad in its distinctive square panels of porcelain enameled steel, this house on Pinevue Drive is a surviving example of a “Lustron” house, a type built in the late 1940s. Lustron houses were steel prefabricated houses offered in response to the shortage of housing for returning veterans. By April 1949, the Lustron company had erected over 100 “demonstration” houses in almost every major city east of the Rockies
