Lustron House "We were revolutionizing a whole industry," said Richard Jones, former Lustron vice president of sales. "We were saying with our house: 'You put down a hammer and a saw and pick up a wrench.'"

Behind its traditional façade, however, lay the hopes and expectations for a new era in American housing.
