Montgomery Modern: The Spirit of Post-War Architecture
Sunday, March 18, 4:00 p.m., Chevy Chase Village Hall
Chevy Chase is known for the wide variety of architectural styles reflected in its homes. The CCHS 2017 Fall Lecture explored the rich history of “kit houses” in our community. We will continue to explore local architecture at our 2018 Spring Lecture with an illustrated lecture on “Montgomery Modern: The Spirit of Post-War Architecture”. The program, presented by architectural historian and author Clare Lise Kelly, is at 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, March 18, at the Chevy Chase Village Hall, 5906 Connecticut Ave.
Following World War II, Montgomery County experienced a great post-war building boom, benefiting from access to federal jobs and an alluring natural landscape. A bold, forward-looking architectural design transformed the county. Kelly will discuss how such modern design in our county’s built environment is a testimony of the optimistic spirit of the mid-20th century.
Kelly has been researching and writing about the architecture of Montgomery County for over 20 years, and has been instrumental in the protection of scores of historic resources through historic designation locally and on the National Register. From 1990 to 2017, she was a preservation planner and architectural historian with the Montgomery County Planning Department, part of the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission.
No reservations are necessary, and signature CCHS refreshments will be served.
