An inspiring story of a trades gal and entrepreneur.

On this day in Arlington history, January 4, 1930: Lillian Baumbach was born. Raised in Arlington, she became the first woman Master Plumber in the US.

Lillian graduated from Washington-Lee (now Liberty) High School in 1947. She learned the trade working summers in her father's Arlington plumbing business which was started in 1928 and she tagged along with her father on service calls. She made her father’s family plumbing business Baumbach Plumbers of Arlington nationally known.

The idea of a diminutive figure wielding a large, cast-iron pipe wrench in the labor-intensive world of plumbing was treated as a novelty. Women plumbers were so unusual at the time that the Washington Evening Star dubbed her ``the pretty plumber." The Arlington native attracted national attention that led to newspaper (including a cartoon from the Boston Herald) and magazine articles and radio and television appearances including “What’s My Line.” She was said to have “scorned dolls for monkey wrenches when she was 6 years old. By the time she was 12 she had become a regular plumber’s helper on jobs with her dad. Her story and picture were carried by wire services, and soon, she received hundreds of letters from around the world. The correspondences, some simply addressed only to "Pretty Plumber," contained marriage proposals and queries on technical plumbing problems. A US Army infantry company stationed in Korea during the Korean War elected her as its pinup girl. She sent them the photo (below) of herself holding a wrench over her shoulder.

She married George W. “Bill” Jacobs and they had two daughters. She became President of her father’s plumbing business until her retirement in 1989 when she moved to North Carolina. She died in 2000.

Lillian Baumbach Jacobs, an Arlingtonian, broke new ground for women by opening up a traditional man’s field. Her story was used for years by the industry to recruit new plumbers.
