Roy and Iris Corbin Lustron House, Historic prefabricated house in Indianapolis, United States.
The Roy and Iris Corbin Lustron House is a prefabricated residence in Indianapolis with exterior walls and roof covered in porcelain enameled steel panels. The structure demonstrates a modern approach to post-war home construction with a compact, functional interior layout.
Built in 1949, the Roy and Iris Corbin Lustron House is one of about 30 Lustron steel houses erected in Marion County. A garage was added in the 1950s, and the property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.
The house is a private residence and is not open to visitors. Its name links it to Roy and Iris Corbin, and it is also known as the Corbin-Featherstone House. It is one of about 30 Lustron houses built in Marion County, a detail that places it within a limited local output of the steel-house programme.
The house is a private residence on a poured concrete pad in Indianapolis and is not open to the public, so interior fixtures and layout cannot be viewed. It can be seen from the street; the 1950s garage addition is visible from outside.
The home is among just a few dozen Lustron houses ever constructed in Marion County, offering a rare view of a short-lived building experiment. This steel construction method was an ambitious initiative that ultimately faded away but survives today as a tangible reminder of post-war innovation.
