There were some houses in a neighborhood of Fresno (adjoining the one my parents bought a new house in) that had windows high in the eaves and exposed wood structure where proper ceilings would be. Gravel roof. I thought they just looked cheap. That's about the time I was ashamed of my parents' ancient '48 Studebaker Champion. Now I think they'd be classed as MCM.
Here in Castro Valley there's a neighborhood of Eichlers. I'm ashamed to say I haven't ever gone up to see them.
Dwell.... I subscribed to it for a time. Is there such a thing as TOO modern? That was my impression of just about all their featured buildings. Modern and expensive!
We're going to have to change the nomenclature... Mid-Century Modern? Which Century?
