Construction of The Lustron, 1949
Tonight Chloe and I started scanning slides and uploading them to our new family photo album at http://dubsol.smugmug.com. We did 50 slides from 1949 and 1950. We made an entire gallery of photos of the construction of The Lustron, the pre-fab metal house that my grandparents built in 1949. Amazing!
(Grandpa Mike Jacobs was a geek, very enthusiastic about exciting new technology!)

By the way, The Lustron still stands. We visited it in 2005:

Dear KayRay.org:
Any objections to presenting these Lustron Photos at http://www.lustronconnection.org?
They are unique in that they are in color and of historical value. They would be archived at Lustron Connection and exhibited for others to enjoy as part of a national collection of Lustron home photos.
Thanks,
-Rick Allen
