Gray Lustron on Dellwood: Interior View

The photo of the blue, metal Lustron home from last Thursday (April 30th) generated a great deal of interest from our readers. We even had some first time visitors-- specifically Lustron aficianados. Today, we take you inside the master bedroom of the gray Lustron on Dellwood. The build-in metal drawers and cabinetry bring to mind the efficient organization of a cruise ship, just perfect for a GI returning from WWII in need of a house to share with his young bride. 

Last week, Peter and Rick were kind enough to post comments on our blog regarding the blue Lustron on Lawndale. Both maintain websites related to Lustrons. If you want to learn more about these maintenance-free steel and porcelain homes, we suggest that you click on their names to get to their respective websites!

This is one time that the Monochrome meme actually worked better for our picture. In color, the hint of green in the upper left hand corner lets you know this picture was taken through a window!

On another note, if you are local, don't forget to eat out tomorrow. On May 5th, 127 restaurants will participate in "Serving Greensboro Together" a fundraiser for Urban Ministries. If you eat in one of the participating restaurants, 10% of the sale will go to Greensboro Urban Ministry.

Interesting, I'd never heard of these homes.

Very interesting and it does look good in black and white. It reminds me of a dressing room for an actor that's been emptied out.

[Aileni]

Quite the thing if you have the room and the cash.

[Laughing Orca Ranch]

So stark withy interesting angles. I have an urge to fill it wit stuff, though! heheh

That looks great in black and white. Interesting furniture. Does look very efficient.

[East Gwillimbury WOW!]

I know this is a display...but it makes me wish I could keep things so neat and orderly. ;-)

[Daryl]

Interesting .. and perfect for a monochrome

[KacyK]

Oh and I did forget to mention..to answer your question...Yes Horses like the true Dandelions...they are cleansing to the liver(not that they know this fact) But ther eis a "false Dandelion" that causes nervious system disruptions...once you know the diff, is easy to spot!

A friend lived in one of these and had to use magnets to hang pictures on the walls.

Hugh! That is so funny. Are you serious or are we gullible? Not mentioned in the first post is the fact that this photo was taken when the Lustron was between tenants. Many of the occupied Lustrons are bursting at the seams with possessions. In a way, they are reminiscent of Airstreams-- only immobile.

I have always wondered about that house on Lawndale, and I have a friend on Dellwood-- I'll have to search this house out. Fascinating stuff!

[Pagan Sphinx]

Fascinating.

[Clueless in Boston]

I never heard of Lustron before. Very interesting.

[slim]

This does render well in monochrome. It must be a noisy house!

[sunnymama]

What a cool monochrome picture! I had no idea it was taken through a window until I read the text.

I've been in this one on Dellwood. Uber retro.

[Charlene]

I live just a few blocks from both of these Lustron and have often wondered what they were like inside. I'd read something about them years ago and recognized them when I moved to the area, they are so tiny looking. I hope these two are maintained. I love the Dellwood Park area, such a diversity of homes, like so many great Greensboro neighborhoods. Oh my it is almost 2 am, I've so enjoyed your pictures & commentary I lost track of time! I'll have to come by another time and go through your archives back to January!
