 Location: The Alexander House, 124 Congress Run Road, Wyoming, OH 45215 US
When: Saturday, March 28, 10:00AM
We toured the home of legendary Cincinnati architect and beloved UC professor James Alexander. This 'growing' house was home to the Alexander family for nearly 60 years. The original two room house was added onto through the years and evolved into this fabulous 4 bedroom family home. Jim's grown children will all be on hand to give tours and reminisce about growing up in this dynamic house on a wooded hillside in Wyoming.
Also we took a self guided driving tour of Congress Run Road, a Cincinnati Landmark Modern Street - with homes by Jim Alexander, Tom Zaugg, Cliff May, Ben Dombar, Terry Boling, and others.
We have copies of the new book "50 from the 50's: Modern Architecture and Interiors in Cincinnati" available for $15, with all proceeds benefiting the preservation of modernism in Cincinnati. The Alexander house is prominently featured in the book.
CF3 and the Cincinnati Preservation Association are asking for volunteers to head up or assist in the CPA's Modern Architecture Oral History Project. If you would like to coordinate or interview the architects, owners and others involved with Cincinnati's rich Modern History please contact Bobbie McTurner, Executive Director, CPA 513-721-4506. |

When: May 3rd, 10:00am-12:00pm Where: 458 Hidden Valley Lane, Cincinnati, OH 45215 Don't miss this fantastic opportunity to see architect Benjamin Dombar's masterpiece home "Good Living," the feature home in the February 2008 issue of Cincinnati Magazine. Designed in 1965 for the Runnels family, this very large (5500 sq ft) home has been painstakingly maintained and preserved through the years. Current owners Sherry and Ken Roth are downsizing and have sold the home. They have graciously agreed to one last bash and have invited cf3 members to come witness Good Living, 1965 style!
The house sits on a secluded 2.5 acre setting and is accessed via a very long private driveway. To avoid potential traffic jams, we ask that you park on Hidden Valley Lane and walk the driveway to the house.

This International Style home dates to 1933, making it among the first modern homes in Cincinnati. Unfortunately original plans were lost due to a 1960s fire in the city's record department, but it's thought a dentist commissioned the home.
You won't want to miss the master bathroom's spitting sink -- a feature promoted at the time by plumbing manufacturers touting measurers to prevent tooth decay -- or the original Vitrolite glass tiles. Other vintage elements include checkerboard Masonite flooring in the living and dining rooms. The home's remodeled kitchen's streamlined style is sympathetic to the modern streamline of the 1930s.
The Nov. 10, 2007 tour was a big success, thanks to Renee and Chris for their hospitality. |

When: Sunday, October 14, 10:00AM
Where: 4405 Riverview Avenue, Middletown, OH 45042 US
Please join us for a cf3 COFFEE CHAT 'EXTRA' that has just been added to our regular schedule of c3's (contemporary coffee chats). Come see this unique Armco Steel Techbuilt House, designed and built by Armco in 1963 as their answer to modular housing for the masses. Only two of these all steel homes were ever built, this one and one in New York state. Not much is known about this house - why were only two built? Was it too expensive? Too modern for the masses? We may never know.
Current owners Noelle and Curt Sparks rescued this neglected piece of history and have gone over every surface (saving what was good and upgrading what was not) and brought the house back to its modern roots. Under Curt's talented designer's eye, this house has finally realized its potential. Located in a lovely mid century neighborhood in Middletown, it is a study in what could have been for suburban America.
Join us for coffee, cider and donuts and be home in time for the Bengals game! |
