Mid-Century Modern is in a class by itself — not old by historic standards, but historic in the innovation and aesthetic breakthrough that it brought to home design. Mid-Century Modern homes are found throughout the 12 counties of the Triad, though they aren’t as plentiful in the Triad as in the Triangle, Charlotte and the mountains.

The authoritative source for information on Mid-Century Modern homes in North Carolina is North Carolina Modernist Houses.
