These include (presented here as themes): Wilmington, San Pedro, Hollywood, Sawtelle, Eagle Rock, Hyde Park, Venice, Watts, Barnes City, and Tujunga. This context traces the history of each of these cities (up to the point of consolidation with the City of Los Angeles), identifying important individuals and patterns of settlement and development, and then links the events and individuals to extant historic resources (individual resources and historic districts).

    Lustron Corporation steel houses Peter Lobner, 15 June 2020 The Lustron Corporation was formed in 1947 by Carl Strandlund, in collaboration with Chicago Vitreous Enamel Corporation, to mass- produce steel-constructed housing after World War II (WW II). The name “Lustron” refers to the factory-applied, lustrous, permanent porcelain enamel finish on all steel components. Lustron received an initial $15,500,000 loan from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation (RFC) to mass-produce steel pre-fabricated houses in a former Curtiss-Wright aircraft factory in Columbus, OH, with more than 1,000,000 square feet of manufacturing floor space. After WW II, steel was a rationed material controlled by the Department of Commerce. There was only a limited allocation for “non-essential” use, such as manufacturing pre-fabricated homes, and Lustron received a large share of that allocation. The only 2-bedroom Lustron “Esquire” prototype model. It was built in Hinsdale, IL. Source: http://instanthouse.blogspot.com 1 Lustron homes were FHA approved and financed. The customer could choose from three production models, Winchester, Newport and Meadowbrook, which could be ordered with 2- or 3-bedroom floor plans. The Winchester could be ordered in “Standard” or “Deluxe” finish. Representative Lustron floor plans.
