Lustron Homes!

If this is the same type home I seen a film about them in the late 80's. They did a movie all about the homes and the people and went to many of them. The one thing I liked was the inside walls could be moved to make another room and so on. This was easy and one man did it on the film to show how it was done.

Rust was a big deal later on and upkeep is not so easy. One guy had to paint the house and took a lot of work and time. I will try to find that film.

I never saw one of those here in Maine, but they look rather interesting, but no basement. Something you very rarely find here. Although some people did get the pre-fabricated Sears Roebuck homes from their catalog and ironically, they are all still standing around here and look good. Paragon and Sherman were the big pre-fab dealers of that era here.

Went past the one in Centerville yesterday, and it has been repainted in an even more vivid shade of Tangerine.
