Join Gainesville Modern and friends as we debut our first ever " A "Tour From Home." This video will highlight 7 Mid-Century Modern homes found throughout Gainesville. Many of these architect designed homes have never been open to the public. We will see works by well know architects Dan Branch, Harry Merritt, Tom Russell & Howard Melton, Arthur Campbell and some you may not know including Bob Tucker and Don Alford. These award winning homes span from the early 1950's to the late 70's. You will see 6 homes and a hidden gem, Gaineswood Condominium.
This in-person party will be held at Walker Architects, a beautiful adaptive reuse building now home to Architect Joe Walker and his team.

These homes were uniquely adapted to the Florida environment using new building materials like steel, glass and concrete. Mid-Century Modern design started the trend of open floor plans with good use of natural light and natural ventilation.
Mid-Century Modern homes come in a wide range of shapes, sizes and condition. Price is always based on location, but for these homes condition plays a big factor as well.
