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.

Birds have returned to the nest
Heavens have set in the west
Temple bells have tolled
Even the Deity has a day, called.
Goddess with her hand raised in a coil
this Home Maker eternally relentlessly toils.
Thanks for the yogurt!

How CUTE are their aprons???
Meet Marcella. This strong 81-year-old mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother has lived in Joplin her whole life. She has spent 56 years in her home and raised 11 children there, 7 girls and 4 boys. Working as a homemaker in the time before electric appliances, she gained and still maintains a grip of steel that is famous in the family.
The day of the tornado, Marcella sat in her recliner and watched as the storm grew bigger and closer. She had seen many storms come and go and at first didn't want to move, but was finally persuaded by her son Mark. The pair took shelter on the floor of the bathroom. For three minutes the house shook like a box of rocks while debris flew in through broken windows. Mark recalls the feeling as one of “holy terror.” The final damage included a nearby tree that fell and shifted the house on its foundation. With their large extended family scattered across Joplin and phone services down, it was several hours before Marcella and Mark were able to confirm that everyone was safe.
After the tornado Marcella chose to stay in her home, even though that meant living without power for a month. The family filed for insurance but didn't feel that they received fair treatment; they also had to contend with fraudulent contractors. The past year has been a hard one. Marcella fell and broke her hip, and this past summer one of her grandsons died unexpectedly. When Mark finally received the call that Rebuild Joplin would help them rebuild, he described a feeling of intense relief that sent chills and goosebumps down his spine.
Today Marcella remains relatively undaunted by all the challenges her family has faced. She insists she is as strong as ever and says that “it is hard to keep a good woman down.” Still, she is looking forward to having her home fixed up again. Not only is it where she intends to live out the rest of her days, it is also where three of her children are currently living and a popular meeting place for the rest of the family.
