The Modernist Scene in Bloomington, Indiana.

I have started this blog as a resource for anyone interested in the Modern and Mid-Century Modern architecture here in Bloomington Indiana. I hope to feature all the modern style houses in the area with picture tours and descriptions trying to cover a new house each month. This blog will also be a resource for those interested in modern design by providing listings of websites, blogs, design articles, including furniture, accessories, and lighting resources. I also hope to feature local businesses that offer products and services related to modern design.

Let's start with a picture of the house I just purchased in January 2011, since I don't have pictures from other houses yet. It's a 1956 Mid-Century Modern designed by architects Ewing and Gladys Miller. The original section of the house was one level. In 1968 there was an addition added that included a first level family room, and a second level office and master bedroom and bath. This house is almost completely original with very little updates having been made since 1956 and 1968. It needs some TLC and certain updates to make it a comfortable home by today's standards. I'll add more information in future posts.


 
Stay tuned for future posts!

Take care,
Kevin
