Chuck connects the viewer through these intimate portraits of the individuals who live in these treasures from our recent past. Each picture captures a unique story and time. -Bill Mahon, Ohio History Connection Charles Mintz's Lustron Stories is a compelling work on many levels. The images capture the context and the particulars of both our ideas about home and the realities of home. Students of house and home in the U.S. have often missed the importance of personal intimacy in studying housing issues outside the realm of reform. Mintz's work reminds us of the complexities of these spaces. The Lustron prefabricated house also provides a consistency of field and common reference to space that draws our eye naturally to the people and the relationships depicted in the photographs. The subjects are, indeed, home. -Douglas Knerr, author of Suburban Steel: The Magnificent Failure of the Lustron Corporation, 1945-1951 (OSU Press)
