A father & daughter's obsession with a series of peculiar houses

- Over 2,000 Lustron homes were constructed in America shortly after World War II, through 1950. What makes them special? Why was production stopped? And what drives this father-daughter team's obsession with these peculiar, historic homes?
Love these homes.they should e preserved and lived in!
I am amazed! There are two of these homes in Harrisburg, PA. I will keep an eye out for more.
There is one in Marysville, PA.
Would love to own one!
As a person with allergies and sensitivities, this would be a dream for me. No offgassing from all those building materials. 😁
We need houses like these
I have seen several of these in South Minneapolis. I went into one that was for sale in the 1980's. It was so cool. I always love it when I spot one in a neighborhood.
The Lustron home failed because they were NOT as affordable as similar site built homes. In addition to the kit, you had to purchase the land, foundation and utility hook-ups, plus transportation costs. You could purchase a complete, turn-key site built home for about $7500 at that time.
There's a house in Tuscumbia, Alabama on Woodmont Drive. Not for sure how the condition is. It's been vacant for years now.
I would think if someone wanted one and could locate and procure one slated for demolition, the house could probably be disassembled with hand tools and could be relocated; provided you had access to a crane and a large truck to lift up all the sections, load them up, and haul them to their new location?
Your theory is correct. There is one that was relocated from Virginia to an Ohio museum. They actually rebuilt it inside the building!
They need to bring back the last run home those are pretty cool I live in one if I could
Let people live, if they like it let them...PERIOD
I can see some appeal...but not sure they would make the outside design with squares all over the front ...they made the interior inside with vertical panels.
.why not do the same outside.
Thunder storms and lightening is what concerns me.
really, i remember when lightning hit our house in skokie.. seemed as if it hit attic fan then somehow found its way to groundwire on chimney..
The entire house is essentially a lightning rod and will keep its occupants safe. Safer than a wood framed house.
I just ordered the Lustron Home book on amazon.
....back when they made things that last.
The termites are protesting!
Let them eat steel!
🤣🤣🤣
Somewhere in a cabinet there's supposed to be a Lustron logo. You didn't get a shot of that?
Honestly.... Homes of the future... Too ahead of its time
"they look like a gas station" and you can tell its a Lustron home
when you pull up in the drive, and a bell goes Ding Ding and a
man in a blue uniform comes out and asks "how many gallons
would you like today ? can I check your oil, wash your windshield,
replace your wipers? check your tire pressure, Overhaul your engine?,
get you a cold bottle of Coke while you wait?'
man, those were the days ☺
Ellie Quintana looks a bit like Scarlett Johansson
Poor Larry must've needed therapy after filming this.
Nostalgic people? Lol I’d rather live in a house of mud. What’s wrong with you people?
Good 4 u. Loser
Why is that?
