Our Northern Ohio Lustron . . . The Home I Grew Up In

I grew up in a three bedroom Lustron home near Lindsey, OH. My folks had it built behind an existing old farmhouse, and we moved in in June, 1950, I think -- for some reason, "the last day of school when I was in the 1st Grade" sticks in my mind. I moved out in 1964 when I got married. My folks stayed until about 1986. Dad had a back room added in the 1950s, and a detached garage later, about 1962. Dad replaced the oil furnace with an electric unit, but little other maintenance or repair was needed. He did paint the roof gray, but I think that's because he didn't like the green. The house itself was tan.

Our road was gravel, and quite muddy when the house was delivered. Dad and Granddad had 2 tractors connected to the truck to get it to the site.The new owners painted it white. It can be seen by looking north while travelling on the Ohio Turnpike at about mile 86 1/2, between SR 590 to the East and Hessville Road to the West. The address is 2906 County Road 141, Lindsey, OH. Although I've driven past the house several times over the years, and just sold the surrounding farmland (inherited from Dad), I've not been inside since Mom & Dad moved out. Holler if you think you can jog my memory for further details.
