History of Joseph Eichler in Sacramento: The history of Eichler homes in Sacramento is a testament to the enduring impact of mid-century modern design in the region. Developed by renowned architect Joseph Eichler during the 1950s and 1960s, these homes revolutionized the concept of suburban living with their open floor plans, clean lines, and integration of indoor and outdoor spaces. The distinct architectural style of Eichler homes, characterized by the use of glass walls, post-and-beam construction, and flat roofs, brought a sense of modernity and innovation to Sacramento's housing market. Not only did these homes provide comfortable and stylish living spaces for families, but they also fostered a sense of community within the neighborhoods they were built. Today, the enduring legacy of Eichler homes can be seen in the growing number of homeowners and enthusiasts who appreciate the unique blend of design and functionality that these homes offer. The impact of Eichler homes on the architectural landscape of Sacramento is undeniable, as they continue to inspire and shape the way we think about modern housing.
Today there’s efforts to historically preserve these homes with the City of Sacramento :
Eichler retained the services of the architecture firm Jones & Emmons to assist with the design his homes. Jones & Emmons became internationally renowned during their 18-year partnership (1950-1968) and were affiliated with Eichler Homes throughout the building company's life. In all, the firm designed approximately 5,000 of Eichler’s 11,000 California homes. The South Land Park Hills Unit No. 7 development is a significant Sacramento example of the architects’ design work and of Eichler’s professional and personal beliefs, which remained consistent throughout his career as a builder: that his homes should always be of the best modern design possible; that they be priced moderately; and that they be available to any buyer, without regard to race, religion, or national origin. Eichler was also the most prominent homebuilder in the country during the 1950s to practice such nondiscrimination policies. This distinguished him from many of his contemporaries. More information about Joseph Eichler can be found during late 2019 in the South Land Park Hills Unit No. 7 Historic Evaluation.
