Are Steel Houses Thoroughly Good
In June of 1947, Architectural Forum selected a distinctive cover star: The Lustron. This innovative home was constructed with a steel frame, steel panels, and a steel roof, and many of these homes still exist today. The Lustron represented a new concept in post-World War II American housing, as it was a factory-made home that could be shipped across the country with an accompanying instruction manual for each individual component. The exterior and interior of the home were both constructed entirely of steel. From 1947 to 1950, Lustron produced numerous homes, but just three years after the cover shot, the future of housing became a mere footnote. The failure of the Lustron home is not simply an anomaly in the realm of home building, but rather a tale of post-war optimism, technological limitations, and a testing ground for the collaboration between government and private industry.
