another brand of metal house was "general houses,
inc." not much survives about them. i don't think they
were as extreme as lustron homes with all the built in
metal fixtures. lustron homes are currently attracting
the interest of people with extreme environmental
allergies as possibly safe places to live.

buckminster fuller designed a house with an aluminum
skin that looks sort of similar to some hurricane
proof houses you might see at the beach (warning,
ridiculous use of flash):

rick sawyer: i *think* there's more than one
international style house in trinity park, all on
east/west streets south of markham. i think one is on
the south side of watts street school, which is, yep,
on dacian. i spent a day working the polls at the
school once and couldn't stop staring at that house
across the street.
