Welcome to 1951.
Legendary television program "I Love Lucy" premieres this year, and the classic novel “The Catcher in the Rye” appears in print for the first time. In Anaheim, California, construction begins on the storied theme park Disneyland.
Amidst the debuts of these iconic American touchstones is the founding of Skyline Homes in Elkhart, Indiana—”the city with a heart.”
Skyline Homes first produced the affordable housing units popularly known as "house trailers" or "mobile homes." These units then evolved into the manufactured and modular homes constructed today.
It was the dawn of a revolution in homebuilding: pairing the country’s manufacturing excellence with the expanding need for high-quality and stylish housing in the post-war years.
The results are unequivocal. Today, hundreds of thousands of people enjoy the simple luxury of the configurable homes available from Skyline Homes. Making good on our promises to our homeowners is just one of the reasons Skyline Homes is recognized often as America’s Most Trusted® Manufactured Home Builder.
