I am now 59, but when I was in the 8th grade I came to this house for a dance party. When I got home that night I remember telling my mom how shiny and bright this house was. I remember the mirrors and the brown tile on the floors. It was beautiful to a kid!!

Years later while moving through a divorce, this house came up for sale and I looked at it. I knew right away I was going to buy it because no matter what others could or couldn't afford, this home was unique and no upkeep! The first winter was a cold one as the storms (windows) were mostly missing and the electric baseboard heat was lousy so I used the wood stove and the girls and I got through!
The wood stove is gone, the storms are magnetic that stick to the inside, the heat is now gas forced air with central air, the floors are carpeted with multicolored Berber throughout, the bath is tiled and the tub enclosure remodeled, --all compliments of my now hubby of 24 years.

He just replaced the original gutters with custom made new ones. That was an expensive experience, but they are beautiful. We are planning new windows, but want to be sure to keep the integrity of the house as best we can.

We live on a small chain of lakes and love living in this house here. It is the only one in the county, however, there are quite a few in neighboring ones.

The Model number is 2 and the serial number is 849. We have the original nameplate on the wall. I've framed the original ads from magazines and they are hung. Our house has been featured in a trade magazine article and over the years I have so many articles and pictures of other Lustrons. We live in rural Columbia City, Indiana at Tri-Lakes.
