Mid-century Modern Communities

Post by Paul Ringstrom »

ARTICLE: https://blog.buildllc.com/2010/01/mid-c ... mmunities/

Missing from the list in the article:
Rush Creek Village, Worthington, OH
The Acres, Galesburg, MI
Usonia Homes, Pleasantville, NY

I know that there were many Joseph Eichler, Donald Wexler and Keck and Keck subdivisions/communities in various states. Where are they?

Which other ones were missed?

Here's an article that includes a few such ventures in LA, including Eichler's only LA tract.

Wright designed a residential development in the 1920s for what later became Trousdale. Lloyd built at least one house in the neighborhood.

No. 4, Mar Vista, shows one of Gregory Ain's finest houses which (last I heard) is in good shape. It is published in "Classic Modern Homes of the Thirties" pp. 16 &17. Flawless!

This article has an included map of 33 Eichler communities in California: http://fogmodern.com/willow-glen/

The number in parentheses next to the name of the community is the number of Eichler homes in that community. I never knew there were so many because there aren't any in the Midwest.

Does anyone know the total number of homes that Joseph Eichler's company built?
