That example is very well preserved! The base and wall cabinets in the kitchen have been replaced and the tub surround is not original. The furnace isn't original, but it looks like the system itself is. The ceiling panels consist of sandwich panels with a upper and a lower skin with an open cavity between. The original furnace circulated hot air through a closed loop of those panels, from the furnace, over all of the rooms and back to the furnace. The panels then radiated the heat downward into the living space. That appears to still be the system. Not sure just how effective or comfortable that would be in Ohio, but apparently someone was happy enough to keep it working just as it has always been. Even the colors (except the black china cabinet) are original.
This is a nice time capsule - would look fabulous with some time-appropriate furnishings.

I would have absolutely no problem living in a small home like that. A little sprucing up here and there is all it really needs. Compared to California that's a big lot. I don't see another house 3 feet away, and look at that nice yard. Not a blasted palm tree or cactus in sight! 1,020 sq ft is very comfortable. Where I live people are obsessed with a home's size. "How big is it?" is the first thing that comes out of most people's mouths. It makes me feel like I'm back in a bar in the 1970's. |

For a Lustron, I have seen pictures of an area where a tornado went thru, the stick built houses were leveled, the only thing standing was a Lustron! |
