Robert C. Metcalf collection, Box 1, Metcalf, Bentley Historical Library, University of Michigan. Visitors to Ann Arbor may be surprised that amidst the academic buildings, historic nineteenth century homes and post-war tract housing are some of the finest examples of Mid-Century Modern architecture in the Midwest.
The Modernist movement was able to grow and develop in this region because Ann Arbor was, and still is, an open, diverse community that fosters an atmosphere ideal for creative expression and experimentation. The University of Michigan provided access to the advancements in engineering and building materials, as well as many of the forward-thinking architects, needed to create these new works.
