Lustron Homes Tour in Des Moines, Iowa | All-Steel Mid-Century Marvel

Take a tour inside a real Lustron home — a rare piece of American post-war architecture, right here in Des Moines, Iowa! Built in the late 1940s, Lustron houses were made entirely of steel and shipped in over 3,000 prefabricated parts.

Advertised as being built in just 3 days — and with fewer than 2,500 ever made, Lustron homes are truly one-of-a-kind.

Designed to be low-maintenance, efficient, and ahead of their time, these homes are now considered architectural treasures.

In this video, you'll explore:

✿The signature steel walls (yes, they’re magnetic!)

✿Clever space-saving features like pocket doors

✿Original built-ins and vintage charm

✿A side-by-side look at two neighboring Lustron homes with garages
