It is a Westchester Deluxe two-bedroom model clad in porcelain-enameled steel.","why_significant":"The nomination argues it is an excellent, largely intact example of post-World War II prefabricated housing and of the Lustron type, which used baked porcelain enamel on steel panels. It meets Criterion A for its link to postwar efforts to ease the housing shortage and Criterion C as a well-preserved example of creative prefabricated house design of the late 1940s. Because the house is under 50 years old, it also qualifies under Criteria Consideration G.","narrative":"This one-story, side-gabled ranch house at 832 Burchill Street in Atlanta is a Lustron home, built around 1950 from porcelain-enameled steel panels on a concrete slab. It is a Westchester Deluxe two-bedroom model of 1,085 square feet, one of 2,498 produced by the Lustron Corporation and one of 22 built in Georgia. Gray two-foot-square exterior panels, tile-like enameled roof shingles, original aluminum casement windows and a bay window mark the exterior. Inside, steel panels cover the walls, and built-in steel furniture, a kitchen buffet with pass-through, pocket doors and sliding closet doors remain. Changes have been mostly cosmetic. The house was listed for its place in postwar prefabricated housing, when the Lustron Corporation used new steel and enamel technology and dealer marketing to answer a severe housing shortage. It is also valued as an intact example of the Westchester model and of modern, informal family-oriented design.","period_of_significance":"C. 1950","architect_builder":"Roy Blass and Morris Beckman - Illinois architects (designed prototype for the Porcelain Products Company, later renamed Lustron Corporation)","architectural_style":"Other: Lustron","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Still used as a single dwelling; retains structural and architectural integrity with minor alterations such as replaced heating, new floor coverings and a removed dishwasher/clothes washer.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:43.493012-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/96000212.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/96000212/9fd3d2910b-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/96000212/9fd3d2910b-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Elisa.rolle","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Georgia20131016_129_Jack_and_Helen_Adams_Lustron_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Elisa.rolle</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Georgia20131016_129_Jack_and_Helen_Adams_Lustron_House.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"16000195","name":"Capitol View Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/georgia/capitol-view-historic-district-16000195/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93206122","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q134347011"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/fulton-county/adams-jack-and-helen-lustron-house-96000212/"}
