The Stradal House, on N. 13th St. in Wa Keeney in Trego County, Kansas is a Lustron house which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.[1]

It is a one-story 31 by 35 feet (9.4 m × 10.7 m) house on a concrete slab foundation, built by Dreiling Implements of Hays, Kansas for John and Agnes Stradal.[2]

It is an example of Lustron's two-bedroom Westchester Deluxe Plan model. As with other pre-fabricated Lustron models, it included built-in cabinets and bookshelves, and had exterior steel panels. In this example the exterior panels are "desert tan with white trim."[3]

It was deemed worthy of NRHP listing "for its architecture and its significance as one of only a hundred Lustron houses extant in Kansas at the time of nomination."[3]

It was listed on the National Register as part of a multiple property submission of Lustron houses in Kansas.[4]
