Skylab was made out of a Saturn V SIVB third stage launched in 1974 manned by 3 different teams of astro's.

Skylab was a great use of resources (read: efficient, cheap, safe), and was simple.
I'm a big fan of the K.I.S.S. theory when it comes to engineering though - the ISS is the exact opposite of that theory (as is the Space Shuttle).
Interestingly enough, many people I know think the ISS was used to justify the costs/infrastructure of the Space Shuttle.
