Lustron home for sale

Circa 1950 Lustron Home For Sale in Mexico, MO $85K – Pending

The prefab, enameled steel, Lustron homes were introduced in 1948 in response to the need of housing after WWII. Our featured home today is the blue two-bedroom Esquire model. Unfortunately, the original bath is long gone.
In most cases the foundation was a basic concrete slab (this one has a basement). Windows were casement with aluminum sashes, and the skeleton framing of the house was steel. Porcelain steel panels formed the siding, interior walls and roof.
Lustron homes like this one sold from the factory for about $7,500. By the time a foundation, erection costs and other fees were added, the total could amount to $10,000. At a time when similar-sized framed homes were going for $6,500 complete, $10K seemed a high price to pay for a small, plain looking house. Although about 2,500 Lustron homes were sold, the company soon folded.
