This Lustron Homes Tour highlights a rare chapter of post–World War II American housing innovation, of which Macomb took part in. Developed by the Lustron Corporation under inventor Carl Strandlund, these prefabricated enameled steel homes were designed to be durable, low-maintenance, and modern for returning G.I.s. Although production ended in 1950, more than 2,000 Lustron homes remain today, with several listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Five can be seen in Macomb, right in the heart of Unforgettable Forgottonia.
