Would you live in a metal house, or is this a hard no? 👀 #LustronHome #MidCenturyModern #HistoricHomes #RealEstateTok #HomeTour | Find A Lot To Love in Indianapolis

This is a Lustron Home. Designed by Carl Strandlund, the Lustron house was introduced in the late 1940s as a response to the post-WWII housing shortage. Made from prefabricated porcelain enameled steel, these homes were designed to be shipped and assembled anywhere, offering a quick solution to the growing need for housing (similar to a Sears kit). The fire-resistant material allowed for easy maintenance - no painting, no wallpaper, no nails, no wood, etc. The production of Lustron homes ceased

Comment, “Lustron” for 🏡 details 👇 Why Lustron homes are so cool 👇 • Built almost entirely out of steel (walls, roof, cabinets, closets 😮) • Designed after WWII to solve the housing shortage • Enamel-coated panels = super durable low maintenance • Fire-resistant, termite-proof, and rot-proof • Mid-century modern vibes before it was trendy • Many came with built-in shelving, radiant heat, and metal closets • Only about 2,500 still exist in the U.S. — making them incredibly rare • Some are now

Have you ever heard of a Lustron home before? They are prefabricated enameled steel houses developed in the post-World War II era United States in response to the shortage of homes for returning G.I.s. The housing company had built 2,500 houses, but failed to deliver 8,000 additional orders. Roughly 2,000 steel Lustrons still stand today, most clustered in the Midwest. We have stayed at this particular one in West Alexandria, Ohio twice now. You can walk to the tiny downtown area for dinner, ice
