Loving the Lustron Houses

January 27, 2005 History/Preservation 1 Comment

Back in December I alerted my readers to a proposed development in Dogtown which would replace a lovely Lustron house with four, well, not so lovely houses. Hopefully someone will step up and rescue this house.

Help may come from Angie Boesch, a Lustron owner in Webster Groves. Angie is taking on the task of trying to track down all 2,498 original Lustron houses with her web site “The Lustron Locator – Tracking Lustrons Across the United States.

How cool is that? Keep up the good work Angie! These homes are an important part of American history and a nifty bit of engineering.

    I have a DVD called…

    Lustron
    The House America’s Been Waiting For

    It is a documentary produced by Ohio State and their public television station.

    Have you seen it? Check out the film’s website http://www.lustron.org.
