TGS Lustron House
A long lost friend moved back to St. Louis some years ago and prior to landing bought a Lustron house sight unseen.
While I've photographed Lustron's from the outside, this was my first visit to an interior.
Pocket doors, enameled steel panels, and steel tiles on the roof. Most of the Lustron's consisted of 10 tons of steel and Bill (owner of this beauty) told me a truck was specifically constructed to haul the pieces to site. The interior is entirely made of steel and the panels were bolted together.
Living room with Majestic Lamps:
Steel ceiling:
Closets:
Bedroom:
Bathroom:
Dining room into kitchen:
Pocket door:
Pale yellow exterior, roof with steel tiles, chimney.
Across the street sits another Lustron:
