Known as the "Electri-Living Home," this was a model for the public to come and see a flame-less Home of Tomorrow. The publication, Living for Young Homemakers, featured the model home in 1957. It was open for public inspection under the sponsorship of Sacramento Municipal Utility District. The home is located at 3421 Lynne Way in Sacramento.
The all-electric model home is light conditioned as well as air conditioned. The house features the latest innovations in electrical equipment including: cooking appliances, water heating, and automatic clothes washing and drying. The home's heating is done electrically with a heat pump, which replaces both the usual furnace and the conventional air conditioner. The machine reverses itself automatically to pump heat either into or out of the houses, as needed, to maintain indoor temperature at comfort levels.
Other features include a switch in the master bedroom with controls a circle of lighting outside the home. Indirect daylighting is used in the living room and three-way switches provide a path of light from the carport to entry hall.
Construction of the home was completed by Joseph L. Binet.

When my sister and I were growing up, Mom never had a job outside the home, but she took here role as “homemaker” very seriously. Over the course of 30+ years our parents built 3 family homes, and in each of those endeavors, Mom was not only physically involved in the building process, but she was also the book keeper and head cook and bottle washer. As a union carpenter, Dad handled the heavy lifting on site while holding down a regular job as well.
Recently, while going through an old cedar chest, my sister found one of Mom’s ledgers detailing the expenses for the house they started on old Lee’s Summit Road in Independence, Missouri in 1957. After losing their first house to the Interstate Highway System, they purchased 4 acres near Drumm Farm and began construction on what I’m sure they thought would be our residence for the rest of their lives.
As a retired builder, it is fascinating to me to go back and look at the entries in this journal and see the costs of the building in chronological order, from purchase of the acreage, to the building permit ($10), to utility lines, foundation and right on through to paint and furniture.
And then there are more personal connections, like seeing Mom’s handwriting and her understanding of accounting. Another touching entry is finding the entry for payment to Bill Sisk for paper hanging. Like many of the people that Mom and Dad hired to help build their homes, Bill was a personal friend in the trades, and my sister and I were friends with the Sisk boys, Alan and Randy.
What I take away from these memories is that for baby boomers, our parents were often partners in ways that married couples today are not. Two income families have changed the dynamic. I don’t know if it’s for the better or the worse, but it is definitely different.
I do know that I was a lucky guy to have been the product of their partnership.

Golden Homemakers 100 Ideas to Beautify Your Home, Gudenian Rockail & Mayer, Marshall Cavendish, London, 1972.
Well, the gay fête, sorry homo homemakers' Autumn Fayre was rather lovely, and very competetitely priced. Lots of stalls, including Tupperware, homemade jam, allotment produce, a knitting group called Stitch and Bitch, and a rather pretty young man demonstrating cookery: "make your own mayonnaise, gaspacho and bloody mary." Lovely.
There was also a BFI archive film about Women's Institutes, filmed in the 1940s, that was rather twee. But did you know WI was a Canadian import? I'd assumed it was a quintessentially English institution.
I stayed about an hour, then started to feel my provincial weight in a crowd of city guys with 26" waists. Lots of perfect tans and expensive shoes slumming it with the homespun produce.
Awful lot of pretty young men with beards. Don't tell me face fungus is fashionable. It looks better on them than me.

Petite brunette actress American actress Jane Wyatt (1910-2006) starred in several Hollywood films, such as Frank Capra's Lost Horizon (1937). She is best known for her role as homemaker and mother Margaret Anderson in the television comedy series Father Knows Best (1954-1960), and as Amanda Grayson, the human mother of Spock on the Science-Fiction television series Star Trek (1966-1969). Wyatt was a three-time Emmy Award winner.
Jane Waddington Wyatt was born in 1910 in Campgaw (now part of Mahwah), New Jersey, but grew up in New York. Her father, Christopher Billop Wyatt Jr. worked on Wall Street as an investor; her mother was the drama critic Euphemia Van Rensselaer Waddington. She was directly descended, on her mother's side, from the van Rensselaer family, one of the earliest Dutch families to settle in the Colonies, as early as 1638, and which at one time owned most of what is now New York City. Jane attended the fashionable Chapin School and later Barnard College. After two years of college, she left to join the apprentice school of the Berkshire Playhouse at Stockbridge, Massachusetts, where she played an assortment of roles for six months. One of her first jobs on Broadway was as an understudy to Rose Hobart in a production of 'Trade Winds'. Her career move cost her her slot on the New York Social Register. Wyatt made the transition from stage to screen and was placed under contract at Universal. There she made her film debut in director James Whale's courtroom drama One More River (1934) starring Diana Wynyard. She went back and forth between Universal and Broadway. Her most famous film role was as Ronald Colman's lover in Frank Capra's Lost Horizon (1937).
During the 1940s, Jane Wyatt starred in the films None but the Lonely Heart (Clifford Odets, 1944) with Cary Grant, Gentleman's Agreement (Elia Kazan, 1947) with Gregory Peck, and the Film Noir Boomerang! (Elia Kazan, 1947) with Dana Andrews). She also starred in the Film Noirs Pitfall (André De Toth, 1948) with Dick Powell and House by the River (Fritz Lang, 1950) with Louis Hayward. Her film career suffered due to her outspoken opposition to Senator Joseph McCarthy, the chief figure in the anti-Communist investigations of that era. She was temporarily derailed for having assisted in hosting a performance by the Bolshoi Ballet during the Second World War, though it was at the request of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Wyatt returned to her roots on the New York stage for a time and appeared in such plays as Lillian Hellman's 'The Autumn Garden', opposite Fredric March. Many people remember her best for her role as Margaret Anderson, the mother in the TV comedy series Father Knows Best (1954-1960), with Robert Young as her husband. The classic sitcom chronicled the life and times of the Anderson family in the Midwestern town of Springfield. Wyatt won three consecutive Emmy Awards for her portrayal of Margaret Anderson. She played Spock's mother in a 1967 episode of the original Star Trek series. 20 years later, she appeared in a feature film Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (Leonard Nimoy, 1986). In between, she remained in the public eye as a fixture of such made-for-television features as You'll Never See Me Again (Jeannot Szwarc, 1973) and Amelia Earhart (George Schaefer, 1976). Jane Wyatt died in 2006 at home, in Bel-Air, California. She was 96 years old. Her funeral was at the Church of St Martin of Tours in Brentwood, California. She married investment broker Edgar Bethune Ward in 1935 and they remained together till his death in 2000. They had two sons, Christopher and Michael Ward. With her husband, she was interred in the San Fernando Mission Cemetery in Mission Hills, CA.

Jennifer O'Neill was the face of beauty in the 70's and 80's with her glamorous Cover-Girl ads. O'Neill (born February 20, 1948) is an American actress, model, author and speaker, known for her role in the 1971 film Summer of '42 and as the face of Cover-Girl cosmetics starting in the 1970s til the mid 1990's. Jennifer was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the grand-daughter of a Brazilian bank president, and the daughter of a famous Spanish-Irish medical and dental supply import/export businessman, Oscar D' O'Neill and his English wife, Irene ("Rene") Freda, a homemaker. O'Neill and her older brother Michael were raised in New Rochelle, New York, and Wilton, Connecticut.
When she was 14, the family moved to New York City. On Easter Sunday, 1962, O'Neill attempted suicide because the move would separate her from her dog Mandy and horse Monty -- "her whole world". That same year, she was discovered by the Ford modeling agency and put under contract. By age 15, she was gracing the cover of Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Seventeen and other magazines, earning $80,000 a year in 1962 working as a fashion model in New York City and also working in Paris, France, and dating older men.
An accomplished rider, O'Neill won upwards of 200 ribbons at horse show competitions in her teens. She saved up her modeling fees and bought a horse, Alezon, who balked before a wall at a horse show, breaking O'Neill's neck and back in three places, and giving her a long period of recovery. She attended New York City's Professional Children's School and the prestigious Dalton School in Manhattan. Later, she moved on to films and worked in a number of television movies and series.
[edit] Career
In 1968 O'Neill landed a small role in For Love of Ivy. In 1970 she played one of the lead female roles in Rio Lobo starring opposite John Wayne.
She is most remembered for her role in the 1971 film Summer of '42, where she played Dorothy Walker, the young widow of a pilot shot down and killed in World War II. Her agent allegedly had to fight to even get a reading for the part, since the role had been cast for an "older woman" to a coming of age 15 year old boy, and the director was only considering actresses over the age of thirty, Barbra Streisand being at the top of the list.
O'Neill continued acting for the next two decades. She appeared in The Carey Treatment (1972), Lady Ice (1973), The Reincarnation of Peter Proud (1975), Caravans (1978), A Force of One (1979), Scanners (1981), and The Cover Girl Murders (1993 made-for-television film). She went to Europe in 1976 and worked with Italian director Luchino Visconti, appearing in his last film L'innocente (1976), where she played the part of the mistress, Teresa Raffo.
In 1982, O'Neill starred in the short-lived NBC prime time soap opera Bare Essence. Her credits include singing in the Chrysler Corporation commercial Change in Charger that represented the end of the Dodge Charger in 1975. In 1984, she played the lead female role on the CBS television series Cover Up; the lead male actor, Jon-Erik Hexum, was accidentally killed on the studio set after placing a blank-loaded prop gun to his temple and pulling the trigger—the wadding from the blank cartridge drove a bone fragment from Hexum's skull into his brain.
O'Neill is also listed in the Smithsonian Institute's National Museum of American History's Center for Advertising History for her long standing contract with Cover Girl cosmetics as its model and spokesperson in ads and television commercials.
O'Neill has been married nine times to eight husbands (she married, divorced, and remarried husband number six); at one point, she was married to four different men in four years. At age 44, she married husband number seven sooner than any other actress, sooner than Zsa Zsa Gabor (who was 63), Liza Minnelli (59) and Lana Turner (49), making her the youngest "most married" Hollywood celebrity. The August 23, 1993, issue of People magazine reports that a friend of O'Neill's says that the actress obtained the (Texas) annulment of marriage number seven (Neil L. Bonin - after less than five months) ... because she felt stifled.
O'Neill has three children from as many fathers, a daughter (Aimee) by her first husband whom she married at age 17, and a son (Reis Michael) from her fifth marriage and another son (Cooper Alan) from her sixth marriage.
At age 34, O'Neill suffered a gunshot wound. Police officers in the Westchester County town of Bedford, New York, who interviewed the actress, said that on October 23, 1982, she shot herself accidentally in the abdomen with a .38 caliber revolver at her Bedford mansion while she was trying to determine if it was loaded.
She describes many of her life experiences, including her marriages and career, to her move to her Tennessee farm in the late 1990s in her 1999 autobiography Surviving Myself. O'Neill says that she wrote this autobiography (her first book) … at the prompting of her children.
In 2004, O'Neill wrote and published From Fallen To Forgiven, a book of biographical notes and philosophical thoughts about life and existence. The actress, who had an abortion after the divorce from her first husband while dating a Wall Street socialite, became a pro-life activist and a born-again Christian in 1986 at age 38, counseling abstinence to teens. Concerning her abortion, she writes:
I was told a lie from the pit of hell: that my baby was just a blob of tissue. The aftermath of abortion can be equally deadly for both mother and unborn child. A woman who has an abortion is sentenced to bear that for the rest of her life.
O'Neill continues to be active as a writer, inspirational speaker, fundraiser for the benefit of crisis pregnancy centers across the United States. She has also served as the spokesperson for the Silent No More Awareness Campaign, a non-denominational, non-political, non-profit organization dedicated to post-abortion healing and recovery.
O'Neill works for several other charitable causes as well, such as Retinitis Pigmentosa International and the Arthritis Foundation. As a breast cancer survivor she has also been a former spokesperson for the American Cancer Society. She has also hosted a one hour television special for World Vision shot in Africa concerning the HIV epidemic. In addition, she remains actively involved with her childhood love of animals and horses, sponsoring the Jennifer O'Neill Tennis Tournament to benefit the ASPCA, and fund-raiser for Guiding Eyes for the blind.
O'Neill purchased a horse farm in Tennessee called Hillenglade Farm where she runs a non-profit organization as a ministry and retreat for girls and young women.
