Tour of three now-historic tracts will show
off restored and updated homes May 18-19

Once upon a 21st century time, in the central Orange County shadow of Disneyland, a mid-century magic kingdom of its own decided at long last to throw open its doors wide to the admiring public.

So let it be known: the three now-historic mid-century modern Eichler tracts in the city of Orange will come together to host 'Eichler Home Tour - Preserve Orange County,' their most comprehensive home tour ever, on the weekend of May 18 and 19.

Now, Joe Eichler built approximately 340 homes in early-1960s Orange and several have been on tours since, concedes tour co-organizer and architect Robert Imboden.
