5 Arkansas sites added to national register

Five Arkansas properties, including the Mary H. Matthews Lustron House in Little Rock, were added to the National Register of Historic Places on Wednesday, officials said.

The Lustron House is a 1949 steel-frame building with walls covered in square, porcelain-enameled steel panels. The Lustron House style was developed as a prefabricated house that could be put together cheaply and quickly on its site, a Department of Arkansas Heritage news release states.

The other four properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places are:

• Morrilton Colored School at Morrilton, built in 1934.

• Victor Cicero Kays House in Jonesboro, built in 1936.

• Northern Ohio School in Parkin, built in 1910.

• Hankins’ Store in Oil Trough, built in 1904.
