Current Status
The promise of a home that never needs painting or maintenance has been somewhat validated after over 55 years of service. The enamel steel roof "shingles" are still keeping many Lustron residents in the dry after five decades of no maintenance.

Currently Lombard, Illinois in Dupage county has the most Lustron houses at 129.
