Arlington County Virginia Lustron Page
http://www.arlingtonva.us/departments/CPHD/ons/CPHDOnsHistoricPreservationLustron.aspx
Arlington County Virginia completed a much publicized "rescue" of a Lustron home known as the Krowne Lustron. Subsequently, they published an attractive publication "The Illustrious Lustron, A Guide for the Disassembly and Preservation of Americas Modern Metal Marvel." This is the most informed, modern guide on disassembling and moving a Lustron. Visitors to this site can download this guide at no cost. With ever rising real estate costs, virtually all the 11 Lustrons of Arlington are threatened with demolition. The Krowne house, named after its donor, may be the only survivor. The Krowne house, in highly original condition when disassembled, remains in pieces, looking for a permanent place to be re-constructed. In June 2008, it may be resurrected for a few months at the New York Museum of Modern Art.
