About the Cause: USModernist provides unrivalled documentation of Modernist houses, raising awareness of Modernist preservation and alerting people about those sites that are in danger.  For passionate architecture fans, Modernist houses evoke a passionate optimism and true love. These houses connect people to nature and the land through carefully designed spaces that are relaxing, compelling, and utterly addictive. Modernist houses are livable sculptures, and many of these mid-century sculptures are endangered. Their locations, often on prime real estate, can be worth much more than the houses, making demolition and development an attractive option.

About USModernist: The internationally-known 501C3 nonprofit has been recognized with 19 awards for leadership in historic preservation, giving the architectural world unrivalled access to the most exciting residential architecture, past and present.  USModernist® hosts national and international tours; the largest open digital archive of Modernist houses and architects; a 4.3-million page architecture magazine library and the long-running USModernist Radio podcast, with 380 episodes. Learn more.

About the House: The 1957 Victor and Elizabeth Hunt House was an instant sensation, featured in Architectural Record Houses of 1959. In 2020, after years of detrioration, the house was meticulously and historically restored by Barton Jahncke for preservationists Diane Bald and Michael Budman.
