Modernism theme of Historic Boulder?s landmark home tour

BOULDER ? Take a step back to the modernist movement in architecture. On April 21-22, Historic Boulder Inc. is hosting its annual Landmarks of the Future Tour.

This year’s tour focuses on Boulder Modernism. It will feature seven homes demonstrative of the modernist artist movement of the early 20th Century. All homes are located in west Boulder from Chautauqua to Mapleton Hill. All were originally designed for college professors and their families.

Boulder is one of few cities that embraced the architectural style and innovation inherent in the modernist movement. Today, the community is intent on preserving it.
