SUMMARY:Mid-Century Modern Vancouver - SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:Thank you for registering. This event is now full!\nJoin us for an exploration of the architecture and history of mid-twentieth century Vancouver with State Architectural Historian Michael Houser. Learn about mid-century modern architectural styles\, and the builders and designers who brought them to life. Houser will highlight several notable local designers including Day W. Hilborn\, Donald Stewart\, Keith Bradbury\, and William D. Cassady. \nHouser has served as the Architectural Historian for the State of Washington for more than 20 years\, and has a long record of helping building owners and the general public understand and connect with the architecture and history of their communities. Currently he manages the State and National Register programs at the Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation in Olympia\, as well as Washington’s unique Heritage Barn Program. \nHouser helped heighten public awareness of post-WWII resources by establishing the “Nifty-from-the-Last 50 Initiative\,” which has documented over 300 mid-century modern buildings across the state and continues to grow. Recent projects include writing biographies of architects and building designers who practiced around the state\, and a study of the late 1950s nationwide Gold Medallion Home program\, which promoted the use of residential electricity. \nVancouver native Houser holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Idaho and a Master of Science Degree in Historic Preservation from Eastern Michigan University.  Previous jobs included working as the Historic Preservation Planner for Deschutes County\, OR. Earlier experience includes time at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn\, MI and survey work for the Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana. \n  \nRegistration is closed. The event is now full.  \n  \nPhoto Caption: Architect William Donald Cassady (1927-2021) designed the Fort Vancouver Regional Library (now ArtsHub) in 1963. Credit: City of Vancouver
