Built in 1949 in Indianapolis, the Roy and Iris Corbin Lustron House exemplifies the innovative prefabricated housing of the post-war Moderne era. This one-story, side-gabled dwelling is constructed entirely of steel and sided and roofed with porcelain enameled steel panels, sitting on a poured concrete pad. At 1,085 square feet, it represents a compact, efficient design characteristic of Lustron's mass-produced homes. A garage was added during the 1950s. One of approximately 30 Lustron houses built in Marion County, this residence—also known as the Corbin-Featherstone House—was recognized for its historical significance when it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.
