sacramento union

I ‘borrowed’ this article scan from a fellow Eichler owner’s Flickr pics –hopefully they won’t mind. It comes from a May 15 1955 edition of the (defunct) Sacramento Union newspaper, and announces the launch of our Eichler development, in South Land Park Hills.

The model shown looks identical to ours. Needless to say, we paid a little more than the original selling price of $17,750-$21,500, sadly. The article also notes that 143 Eichler Homes were planned –I believe only 62 were built, and most still stand.
