With over 100 full-color photographs of the homes various models, as well as an introduction by architectural expert Sally B. Woodbridge and an essay by Eichlers son Ned, Eichler Homes tells the poignant story of a unique post-war business, and of a singular vision and unforgettable legacy that continue to inspire architects and designers around the world.
