The Twentieth Century City
June 29, 2016 @ 7:00 pm
The Gate City grew from a county seat and college town to the second largest city in the state during the twentieth century, and our downtown has some of the best examples of architecture of the period to show for it! Unusual highlights of the tour include early skyscrapers, Mid-Century Modern landmarks, and a Brutalist governmental campus that stand among the best examples of their styles in the southeast. An array of architects are represented, from our own Raleigh James Hughes, New York’s Charles Hartmann, and Argentina’s Eduardo Catalano.
This tour is in its 11th season, and is part of the year-long celebration of Preservation Greensboro’s 50th year of service to the community. Learn about history and design on an architectural tour of Elm Street and blocks on the northern side of our center city. Led by Preservation Greensboro’s Urban Guide Ryan Gray, you will gain insights on what exactly makes our city so cool! Tours will take an hour and a half depending on questions.
Rain or shine, cancelled only if thunder is heard. Wear comfortable shoes!
