| Additional Information: | A Lustron Home - a single story dwelling constructed of enameled steel panels. See the Lustron House at 1700 Fairway Street 5P/30. CITY DIRECTORIES AND ASSESSORS RECORDS SHOW THAT THIS HOUSE WAS BUILT IN 1949. BORTON WAS A TELLER AT THE AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK & TRUST. 2016- "The Borton House is a well preserved example of the prefabricated all-metal houses designed and built by the Lustron Corporation between 1948 and 1950. Built in the Ranch style, Lustron houses were small, single-story houses with steel frames, exterior walls of enameled steel panels, and simple gable roofs also sheathed in enameled steel panels. The interior of the house also features enameled steel panels and factory provided built-in steel storage spaces, as well as factory-supplied sinks and bathtubs. The Borton House itself is an example of the Lustron Corporation's pre-fabricated Westchester Deluxe model two-bedroom single family dwelling. The Lustron Corporation was located in Columbus, Ohio, but ceased their operations in 1950 due to poor sales and lack of interest in this innovative design. This is one of four such houses in the Eau Claire area. The Lustron house at 1700 Fairway is eligible for the local register." -"Eau Claire Landmarks: Designated Historic Properties in Eau Claire, Wisconsin", Eau Claire Landmarks Commission, P.O.
