Ken, Thank you for visiting and thank you for the information! I had a glorious time researching and learning more. When you said 1928, I could see more references to that time period in the lines of that chaise. This could be a whole separate video! Thank you!

@@susancornishrealtor1485 I should correct, it is the LC-4 chaise long chair which was introduced in 1929. While mid (20th) Century modern is just that, modernism dates back much further or what we think of as modern. The Barcelona Pavilion is yet another very modern by today's standard but was built in 1927 or so. It was recreated for the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. Well worth seeing. As far as Eichler homes, a good friend of mine a few years spend upwards of a million dollars to bring it back to "original". Stripped down to the posts and beams, much of the slab and foundation had to be replaced in order to fix the under slab HVAC ducting which had rotted out and was full of asbestos; galvanized plumbing under the slab and then a lot of very poor remodels over the years. The kitchen originally was closed off as was common for the day AND by good chance found a full set of St. Charles steel kitchen cabinets - new old stock!!! All the kitchen appliances while modern, are built in but convey the feeling of the original Thermadore wall ovens, cooktop + new Sub Zero and miele dishwasher. It all depends on the neighborhood and what the other homeowners do when spending that sort of money on a complete redo which also included extensive seismic retrofits which included somehow taking the fireplace chimney apart and putting it back with rebar and still with the permission for wood burning logs. The glass replacement itself was over $100K, dual pane low E, impact resistant. Back to "modern", visiting Japan, there are many homes and whatnot that are 500 years old that we would consider modern with their straight lines, and extreme restraint of materials (wood).

@@kennixox262 I love this. Thank you for all of your information. Most of the properties I show on the channel are on the market and as such they are "livable" at least. The one that I was able to get permission to show that was obviously "rough" was the Palo Alto Eichler "for cheap". Did you see that one? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gq1lqZqmsNvag6M.html

Interesting that you say that. The kitchen has a mixture of original and new.
