NCModernist celebrates 2024 with a special evening in a mid-century Modernist house with lively music, delicious food, and curated drinks! Proceeds benefit NCModernist's mission of documenting, preserving, and promoting residential Modernist architecture across the state.
UPDATE: the house is not ready for prime time yet, so you'll get a free VIP ticket to the future grand opening. The newly-relocated 1954 Bill and Marcia Weber House was moved seven miles by the Knowles in January 2024 from Transylvania Avenue. George Matsumoto designed the house with owner, architect Bill Weber who was a partner in one of Raleigh's most prolific firms, Holloway Weber and Reeves. The house was featured in Architectural Record in 1954 and for a time was a Raleigh Historical Landmark. Video.
