I wanted to help spread the word about the MODERNIST HOUSE TOUR & SYMPOSIUM in Greensboro on 10-13 October.  There will be  free lectures by Sandy Isenstadt, Cynthia de Miranda, Sally Warther, and my friend Patrick Lee Lucas, a couple of special events on Friday and a weekend symposium. I know everyone will learn something about Modernism in Greensboro and North Carolina as a result.

On Saturday (10am-4pm) and Sunday (1-4pm), tours will be offered of nine Modernist houses in Greensboro and Guilford County. A number of them were designed by Edward Loewenstein...but Modernism doesn't stop there in Greensboro as the tour includes houses by Gerard Gray, the builder J. Hiatt, and Pittsburgh-based architect Sylvester Damianos.  We hope you might make your way to the Gate City for this special weekend.  Read more about the tour and the houses featured online.
