"Our Lustron in Des Moines, Iowa was the Lustron model home for west of the Mississippi. We have original press clippings, books. We’ve owned it about 18 months and I believe just the third owners. Someone replaced the kitchen cabinets and added an air conditioning unit in the hall closet prior to us, but otherwise, I believe the house and garage are very original.

We updated while hopefully responding to the original design intent with stainless steel countertops, flooring...It’s cold in the winter but otherwise we love it, while we live a downsized lifestyle with our two dachshunds. "

"We have lived in our Lustron since 1979 and we love and call it a special home. We are located on a small chain of lakes in northern Indiana. We enjoy it year-round. We are in a county historical book. We get so many visitors still interested in seeing our home. "

"We are in a very high traffic area and zoned commercial so we thought a great color and a bit of funk would help us to stand out.

Other than the color everything on the outside is original. The home had one repair due to rust damage on the bottom of the gables. "

"My wife and I are proud owners of a Lustron in Cleveland Heights, OH. I bought the place as my first house in 2000. After meeting my wife we lived here for a few years, then decided to get a bigger place when we got engaged.

After living in the new house for two and a half years and renting out the Lustron, we decided we missed our old place (Lustron) so much that we were going to move back. So now we're home again. " - Mike & Amy

"A previous owner had the original exterior covered with aluminum siding, had shingled roofing added and the original kitchen replaced. I later updated the windows, and have just completed updating the floors, kitchen and bath. "

"A change in plans . . . our Lustron Wall is preserved. It was not exposed to weather since 1968.

I was busy remodeling an earlier back room addition. It came time to re-cover the Lustron wall with sheetrock. The porcelainized panels were in such fine condition. So I kept the wall exposed as a permanent monument to the home's Lustron legacy. Fortunately, a 1960's carpenter had artfully enclosed the wall without damaging the Lustron panels."
