I knew the owner of the Lustron Home on Arden Ave and it was a very nice home inside. Looked exactly the way it did in the 1950s. Very much like a cookie cutter type of home. Meaning most Lustron were pretty much alike

the lustron link richard posted is now gone. If you want a list of houses. Check out the Columbus Library a book called the Lustron home by Thomas Fetters there is a list in the back of the book. I have driven past some of these homes and taken pictures check out the facebook link. I even got some franklin co auditors pictures of some house already torn down. The one listed for 1818 E Long was taken and shows just the frame standing as they carefully disassembled it. I respect peoples privacy and did not trespass, only once was I asked what I was doing and was invited on the property. The new owner talked at length about his home and was happy to learn anything else I could share. So if you do get the list and go looking be respectful.

http://www.lustronregistry.org contains is building a listing of all known Lustrons. The Clintonville, OH Lustrons are included in the list. However, they were listed under Columbus. Based on this web article, I have added the Clintonville locale to the listing. Thanks for the information! -Rick Allen

There are Lustron homes at 27 Kanawha, 214 Arden, and 185 Arden--this last one has been changed so that it is hardly recognizable as a Lustron home.

This is the only Lustron house I knew of in Clintonville. Where are the others?
