Remember, Eichler’s first customers were coming back from a World War (A World War!). They were NOT looking for some fancy digs to lay down in the lap of luxury.
The selling point that brought the people of the 1950’s, 60’s and 70’s to an Eichler Home was the then innovative features an Eichler Home possessed at a price that rivaled lesser homes in the area.
Eichler Homes had two bathrooms, radiant heated floors, and post and beam construction while most homes of the eraa sold postwar had only one bathroom, wall radiators and traditional lumbar framing.
