Atomic Numbers


Coveted for their unique spin on the mid-20th-century ranch, Eichler houses continue to look modern 60 years after they were first introduced. Today, one California company offers house numbers in the original, distinctive sans serif typeface that developer Joseph Eichler used to grace his houses. Re-created via rubbings taken from originals, these newly minted house numbers, which are water-jet-cut from Corian tiles and mounted with authentic spacing on a high-density polyethylene backing, are designed to be weatherproof. Available in combinations of two to five numbers ($80 as shown), they are a good fit for modern-looking 1950s-era houses. To order, see www.eichlernumbers.com or call (408) 266-4180.
