This section focuses on buildings from the 1950s-1970s, commonly referred to as mid-century modern architecture. Many people refer to this period as "googie", "jetset", "space age", "Jetsons", "populuxe", etc. However, I prefer the term mid-century since it is more accurate and inclusive of the variety of buildings produced during this time period. This is the biggest section of my website with more than 300 pages and growing. Don't forget to check out the pages beneath the map. You will also find many examples of mid-century buildings in other sections (Eateries, Car Showrooms, Gas Stations, etc.) If you have recommendations of buildings that you think should be included here, I'd love to hear from you. Enjoy!
