On January 20, 2006 members of CF3, Patrick Snadon and UC interior design and architecture students visited the Alfred Moore home in Indian Hill. The purpose of the visit was to document the home by interviewing Alfred Moore, taking photos and video taping the home. Alfred brought the original plans and presented them to UC.

The 20th Century Modern Show, http://www.20thcenturycincinnati.com, is held in February at the Sharonville Convention Center. In 2005 at the show the idea of CF3 was formed and some of the original members started meeting and forming the group. CF3 has had a booth in the following years and displayed many reference materials and books shared by the members.

CF3 is a non-profit modern design forum whose mission is to promote, preserve, educate, document, enjoy, and raise awareness of Modern Design in and around Cincinnati. Through educational and social events as well as its website http://www.cf3.org, CF3 will bring together a modernist community to protect this design aesthetic.

Cincinnati has a rich architectural and design history including the Modern design period from the 1930s through 1970s. Modernism’s recent renaissance has lead diverse area groups such as students, professionals, enthusiasts and homeowners to look for resources. As a non-profit group, CF3 functions as a forum uniting these modernist minds to experience and preserve Cincinnati Modern design.

CF3 was founded by a group of like-minded Cincinnatians to:
• Increase awareness of modern design in Cincinnati.
• Save potentially “endangered” modern structures.
• Establish a digital and physical database of area modern homes, institutions, commercial buildings and entire communities.
• Create a forum for area modernists to exchange information and ideas via its website.
• Offer planned educational and social events (home tours, lectures, workshops, parties).

On February 11, 2006 family and friends of the Mitchell House in Indian Hill gathered to say fairwell to the Woodie Garber design home.

Family members told stories about what it was like living in the home. Other presentations were on the history of the home's history and Woodie Garber's career.

Other homes are planned to be built on the large lot.
