A Place to Call Home: Residential Architecture of the 1950s and 1960s

  • Church of the Risen Savior 1501 County Road 42 East Burnsville, MN, 55306 United States (map)

This class examines the social and historical influences that defined the unique residential styles and trends most associated with the mid-mod era. We'll look not only at common forms like the Cape Cod and the ranch house, but also some high-style examples designed by prominent architects. The fascinating story behind 1950s and 60s homes, neighborhoods, and suburbs will leave you with a new appreciation for Minnesota's mid-century properties.
