There is a neighborhood in Fullerton, CA near Fullerton College with a number of homes that look very Eichleresque. Anyone know if there are any in that area? I know ther are Eichler's and Cliff May's in Orange which is only a few miles away so maybe...[/list]
Did you know that there are Cliff May's right in Tustin as well?
I don't know exactly where Fullerton College is but, l know of a large group of homes in Fullerton designed by Jones and Emmons that are not Eichlers.
joniressinger: JB is correct. Those homes you mention were designed by Jones & Emmons (of Eichler fame) and built by Pardee-Phillips in the mid-50s. Pardee-Phillips built modernist tracts, designed by Jones & Emmons all over SoCal, Las Vegas, Pheonix, and Tucson. Several of the Jones & Emmons designs for PP won AIA awards.
JB: I'll be in LA next week. Where is Tustin? Street names?
I plan to visit the Orange County (Lees st. area) tract and head up to Laural Canyon in the west hills as well. I'll be on a Cliff May and Jones & Emmons mission until heading to the desert to see the P&Ks, wexlers, etc!
Hi Joe,
For the Cliff May's in Tustin, look East of Red Hill and South of Irvine.

ps: I'll be thinking of you while I'm in Palm Springs THIS weekend on the tour.
Take care, JB
thanks for the map. I expect a full report from PS!
Where some of these other Cliff May/Pardee Phillips tracts are-I heard Whittier and Long Beach mentioned in posts/theads. Too bad Pardee didn't continue (like under another division for their 'modern' homes), now they go the faux Tuscan Mansion route.
Thanks for the info...A friend of mine recently bought a home in that area we thought might be an eichler, but there are many details that didn't fit. It may, however, be a Jones & Emmons...I appreciate the feedback. :)
modfan, it sounds as if you may be combining the Cliff May's and the Jones and Emmons / Pardee Phillips. They are different. I've seen Cliff May tracts in Anaheim, Long Beach and Tustin. I've seen the Jones and Emmons / Pardee Phillips in Whittier and Fullerton. See page 187 in Modernism Rediscovered for a picture of a Fullerton Jones and Emmons / Pardee Phillips home.
