The Mary H. Matthews Lustron House was a historic house at 5021 Maryland Avenue in Little Rock, Arkansas. It was a single-story prefabricated house, erected on site about 1949. It was one of four known surviving examples of a Lustron house in the state (out of twelve documented to be shipped into the state). These houses were prefabricated in Columbus, Ohio, and feature a steel frame clad in porcelain-enameled steel panels. The roof was also clad in similar panel and retained other original features.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.[1] but was delisted in 2020 after it was demolished in October 2019.
