Lustron houses are prefabricated Porcelain 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. Considered low-maintenance and extremely durable. A steel framing system was devised consisting of vertical steel studs and roof-ceiling trusses to which all interior and exterior panels were attached. This is a 2 Bdrm, 1021 sq ft home that is the MO 2 Desert Sand "Westchester Deluxe" model. This one is extra unique because it has a rare factory garage and breezeway add-on. To maximize space, all interior rooms and closets featured pocket doors. Lutron's were manufactured in the late 1940’s and early 1950’s in a converted airplane factory in Ohio. These prefabricated kit homes are notable for being built of enamel coated steel panels – durable and easy to transport. They were popular in the American east, south, and Midwest but only Approximately less than 1500 of them survive today in the U.S and Only 13 are located in Evansville. This is an Estate sale and the house is "AS IS". People across the U.S will purchase Lutron Home supplies to rehab their Lustron Home. Per owner: House can tap into city water. House is in the Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana.
