Miranda had explained that I needed to verify that the plans for our house were, in fact, the actual plans before they would make another copy.

Handling the original plans and making copies physically wears the documents so we needed to verify that the plans were what we needed before she would authorize any copies to be made.

OK, another trip to Wurster Hall.

We have an MS-134R!

Reviewing the plans showed that yes, they were accurate but the garage was on the left side whereas our garage is on the right side. We have an MS-134R.

This is an MS-134; we have the mirror image of this house, with the garage on the right side (MS-134R)

The

Miranda ordered copies of the sheets and said the copies would be ready in two days.

Finally.

Wally responded to our e-mail stating, ‘To tell you the truth, I don’t remember HOW I figured out your floorplan. I would often get on the horn to Marty, he’d point me to a couple that would be SIMILAR to a given floor plan, and we’d try to cobble together the answer.’

With Marty Arbunich as the source, I called Marty and described what we were looking for. Marty asked for the plans and specific differences, which sent to him in a PDF.

Marty responded to our e-mail in 17 minutes, with ‘Based on the differences that you point out, it’s MS-134, also by Claude Oakland.’

Satisfaction!

Not having the model number for our Eichler was becoming frustrating.

We went back to the article that was written on Via Sereno (Back to the Winchester Mystery Houses), to verify why we thought we had an MS-344.  The article mentioned a house across the street from us, which was described as an MS-144.

Another e-mail to Wally Fields asking the source of the model numbers.
