PreserveCast Ep. 42: Montgomery Modern: What’s the Future for Mid-Century Modern Architecture?


Listen Later

When does history end? For some, like today’s guest Clare Lise Kelly, it might be closer to the present than you think. Clare is an architectural historian here in Maryland whose focus is the preservation of mid-century modern architecture from the 1950s and 60s. She literally wrote the book Montgomery Modern, focused on the architecture of Montgomery County, northwest of Washington D.C. From the future of office parks to Frank Lloyd Wright, there’s a lot to cover before we have to say so long. This is PreserveCast.

Here's a link to learn more about Clare's work with Montgomery County, MD, plus information on how to buy her book: (http://montgomeryplanning.org/planning/historic/montgomery-modern/)
