To ease post-World War II housing shortages, the Lustron Corporation of Ohio made a unique house of all prefabricated steel parts on an assembly-line basis and shipped them directly to owners' lots. Harold Hess purchased a Westchester Deluxe model with an attached garage from a New Jersey dealer and assembled it on this site in 1950. All walls, roof, and chimney are porcelain-enameled steel panels. Between 1948 and 1950, Lustron made 2,498 houses.
