Central Davis mid-century modern

As a builder, Joe Eichler never made much impact in California's hot Sacramento Valley. But his work profoundly influenced two brothers who created their own modernist neighborhoods in Davis and greater Sacramento -- including Carmichael, Citrus Heights, Elk Grove, Fair Oaks, Orangevale, and Woodland.
Houses by Streng Bros. Homes, Inc., built over a 30-year period beginning in 1959, found favor with lawyers, educators, tall people, and architects, who appreciated their simple lines, light-filled rooms and skylights, and tree-lined neighborhoods.
Bill and Jim Streng built close to 4,000 homes, all but 1,000 modern in style, in 40-some subdivisions and on individual lots. They worked almost entirely with a single architect, Carter Sparks, a dedicated modernist who also built dozens of custom homes for individual clients.
