ABOUT THE MEETING OUR GUEST SPEAKER
Join us as we explore the fascinating history behind California’s iconic
mid-century modern Eichler homes. Joseph Leopold Eichler was a
real estate developer whose distinctive residential subdivisions can be
found throughout the state, with approximately 275 in Mountain View
alone. The MVHA is excited to welcome special guest speaker Monique
Lombardelli, who will share Mr. Eichler’s crusade to provide affordable
housing in the Bay Area, drastically changing the lives of thousands
of families of all backgrounds at a time when racial segregation still
created barriers to homeownership for many people. Monique Lombardelli is the broker and CEO of Modern Homes
Realty. She has been featured in national magazines like Dwell,
Realtor.com, California Home and Design, Curbed, and Architect
Magazine for rejuvenating Eichler homes and specializing in
modern home sales. With a college degree in fi lm and media,
she has produced fi lms about Modernism to educate buyers.
Considered an evangelist for mid-century modern style homes,
she has done much to revitalize interest in rescuing and
preserving their legacy.
