"Streng Bros. Acquires Area Reputation With Middle-Price Contemporary Homes"

By Bruce Grant

Architects' choice might be one way to describe Streng Bros. homes.

James P. and G WIlliam Streng, a pair of native Pennsylvanians, have been specializing in dwellings of contemporary design for 10 of their 14 years of home building in Sacramento and Davis.

They take pride in the fact that they have built homes for 27 architects in the past 10 years.

"We consider ourselves the contemporary home builder in Sacramento," said Jim Streng during an interview.

Streng Brothers newspaper advertisement from April 1964.
Notice the "Better Living Electrically" symbol and the model home address - 5237 Damon Ave - which in actuality, isn't a "contemporary" styled home, rather a ranch styled one.

Were the ranch houses in Overbrook built by the Streng Brothers? Who were they designed by?

Originally a military housing development near Sacramento, CA. Designed by Eichler architects A. Quincy Jones + Frederick Emmons, and built by Sun Gold, Inc in 1957, this sprawling tract is now a gated community called "The Arbors".


The complex is surrounded by a dilapidated chain link fence, cinder block walls and it's main entry fortified with a gated checkpoint. Its location next to an abandoned golf course makes for wonderful vistas.
