Patterson House (Larned, Kansas)
listed on the NRHP in Larned, Kansas, United States
The Patterson House in Larned, Kansas is a three-bedroom Lustron house built in 1949. Together with its matching Lustron garage, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.
It was built by Great Bend, Kansas, Lustron dealer Don Brack in 1949 and would have cost somewhat more than $10,500. All exterior surfaces and walls and ceilings inside the house are porcelain enamel steel. It has an original built-in dining room china cabinet and pass-through to the kitchen, which identifies the house as a "Deluxe" edition of Lustron's Westchester house model. Other porcelain enamel built-in features include bookcases, a mirrored vanity, and closets and overhead storage.
It is a front-gabled, 31-by-39-foot (9.4 by 11.9 m) house with "Dove Gray" walls, white trim, and a green roof.
The two-car Lustron garage, like the house, is front-gabled and sits on a concrete slab foundation.
The property was deemed notable in 2001 as "an excellent and rare example of a three-bedroom Westchester Deluxe Lustron with an accompanying Lustron garage." A red brick wall holding an outdoor brick fireplace connects the house and garage and defines an outdoor patio area; this is compatible with intentions of Lustron designers for renovations to be added and does not detract from the historic integrity of the property.
The first owners, Harold and Alice Patterson, raised five children in the home.
