Books: The Houses of Richard B. Isenhour, Carnegie Center

“Today the term “mid-century modern” designates a design movement in American housing that began after World War II. The postwar era was a time of new beginnings, with some designers creating a new look in housing for the modern age. Along with architects across the nation, Kentucky’s Richard B. Isenhour focused on new design goals — simple lines, open living areas, connection to the outdoors, and use of natural materials. Larry Isenhour, author of the book The Houses Of Richard B. Isenhour – Mid-Century Modern In Kentucky will give a 30-minute slide presentation on the houses in this book followed by a book signing.”
