the lustron house, comprised completely of steel, was one of the original prefab houses. designed by carl strandlund in 1947, they enjoyed brief popularity before the lustron corporation went bankrupt amid poor sales and scandal (but we won't get into that here). the point of this post is that the biggest concentration of lustron homes still in existence are being given away - that's right, given away - by the marine corps base at quantico.you can apply for one here. you just have to figure out how to dismantle, transport, and reassemble the house. oh, and the due date is april 12th.
i would but, well, i've got all the house i can handle right about now.
