In the various books I have read and the many pictures there was no reference to schools.

We also had similiar low flat roofs in the new schools here. The multiple panel classroom windows that openned out etc.

If you 'Google' Eichler you will see reference to a number of architects of the time and many of them have links to big projects such as offices and hospitals etc.

Many of the furnishings in the homes are today collector pieces - such as the Eames chairs, Egg chairs and Barcelona chairs.

Mmmm and to think my parents threw a lot of this type of furniture out or sent it to the beach house.. There must be a number of beach house with valuable pieces in them today..

The whole project has been very similiar to building or restoring a car - guess that was my motivation placing the Thread.

We have enjoyed it and will now take a few days to look at some of the Eichler homes in the USA.

Thanks

Bernie
