Lustron houses are prefabricated enameled steel houses developed in the post-World War II era United States in response to the shortage of homes for returning G.I.s by Chicago industrialist and inventor Carl Strandlund. Considered low-maintenance and extremely durable, they were expected to attract modern families who might not have the time or interest in repairing and painting conventional wood and plaster houses. Lustron production ceased in 1950 due to the company's inability to pay back the startup loans it had received from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. Over 2,000 homes were constructed during the Lustron's brief production period, and many remain in use today. Several have been added to the National Register of Historic Places.

  • Les maisons Lustron sont des maisons préfabriquées en acier émaillé. Ce type d'habitat fut développé par l'industriel et inventeur chicagolais (en) dans l'après-guerre, en raison de la pénurie de logements pour les anciens combattants. La charpente, les finitions, les armoires et les meubles sont en tôle d'acier plié à froid, ce qui marque le début de l'aventure de l'acier plié à froid dans le bâtiment. (fr)
