"Other dwellings will be constructed of new lighter, stronger steel, now being researched at laboratories of such companies as Sharon Steel. It will revolutionize architecture, give houses new shapes—triangular, semi-spherical, globular."

In the 1990s, US Steel made a (weak) effort to promote steel houses--some even got built in northwest Indiana (US Steel is a big deal there, still), but they never promoted the concept much, and the houses never caught on.
