Galion, Ohio, is home to four [[Lustron house|Lustron homes]], which are notable for their unique post-World War II design. Lustron homes were prefabricated, all-metal houses produced between 1948 and 1950, designed to address the housing shortage in America after the war. Constructed from enameled steel panels, these homes were durable, low-maintenance, and featured modern conveniences for the time. The homes in Galion are part of this architectural innovation and stand as examples of mid-century modern design. Today, these Lustron homes are recognized as historically significant due to their rarity and contribution to post-war housing developments in the United States.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Research |first=Lustron |title=Lustron Research |url=https://lustronresearch.com/lustron-national-map |access-date=2024-10-14 |website=Lustron Research |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Quirky, Numbered, Perfection |url=https://www.batchgeo.com/map/d7fe01e1dc11ec71aeb62017cf535a08 |access-date=2024-10-14 |website=www.batchgeo.com}}</ref><ref>{{Citation |last=Ken |title=OH Galion - Lustron House |date=2021-01-22 |url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/10707024@N04/52594698511 |access-date=2024-10-14}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=USModernist Archives |url=https://usmodernist.org/lustron-midwest |access-date=2024-10-14 |website=usmodernist.org}}</ref>
