Let's take a look at the Lustron Homes of the 1950s. Sunflower Journeys explored the motivation behind prefabricated housing and the history of these all-metal homes in the area. Many of the homes that were constructed in Kansas are still around, and sprinkled in cities throughout the state. You can even see Lustrons in Topeka if you know where to look!
