Steel Modular House Shines Anew

Updating a story MHProNews posted Nov. 8, 2011 concerning the 1933 prefab Steel House from the campus of Connecticut College in New London, CT, the modular house was being shipped panel by panel to a facility in Pennsylvania to be restored and shined up. Affectionately called “Rusty” on the campus, it was built by General Houses, Inc. of Chicago and gifted to the college in 1949. Used by faculty and students until it was abandoned in 2004, it fell into disrepair and has returned, reassembled and sited on the same foundation, and is now the new Office of Sustainability, as reported by theday.com.##
