The Eichler Zone

For the past few years, I've had the great honor of being a member of the Eichler Historic Quest committee. It was a lot of hard work by some very dedicated folks, and it paid off in the form of two Eichler neighborhoods listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

And in November, the Eichler Historic Quest Committee was one of a number of recipients of the Governor's Historic Preservation Awards. For more on this special event, please take a visit to Marty Arbunich's Eichler Network site.

For my part, I had fun packing Quest Committee Members Merritt Colman, Marty Arbunich, Adriene Biondo, and Carroll Rankin into my Lava Red Pontiac Vibe, for a trip from the Bay Area to Sacramento. Somehow, they trusted me to drive.

Once there, we had a chance to learn about some of the other lucky recipients and say a few words ourselves about the Eichlers. Afterwards, a docent treated us to a tour of the Governors Mansion. We learned many things in this journey through Pre-Modernist history- among other things, how short people were back then!!

In any case, I feel very honored to have contributed my small part to this effort, and to many years of fine friendship with my fellow Eichlerholics. Obsession loves company!

If you own an Eichler YOU'REobsessed with, would you consider the honor of giving me a tour? if so, please get in touch with me at the contact link below. Thanks!
