Ancient History

While reorganizing my image archives, I came across this photo from the days when I first started seriously learning architectural/interior photography. It is the atrium of the Eichler home of Catherine Munson (now deceased), who was a long-time real-estate agent based in Marin County, California, specializing in selling Eichler Homes. She started her career working as a hostess for Eichler Homes, at the open houses, and graduated to working as a sales agent for the company. I think the furnishings in Catherine's home illustrate how adaptable the homes are to a wide range of decor, even though the style of the homes themselves is quite modern. In fact, one thing Catherine became very good at, and which she developed while working for Eichler Homes, was helping prospective buyers to visualize what the homes could look like when furnished to suit the buyers' tastes.
