believe it or not, salt lake actually has quite a collection of modern architecture. thanks to a great friend of mine, amber, i had the opportunity to tour and visit one of these homes. saturday night, salt lake modern, associated with the utah heritage foundation, hosted an evening of architecture and art. a mid-century modern piece of architecture housed with the artwork of local, modern artist John Bell.
residence of mary fresques and john bell, designed by john sudgen, built 1959
this event was also hosted in recognition of DOCOMOMO US Annual Tour Day which highlighted several buildings, sites and neighborhoods in the modern movement throughout the US, Canada and Mexico. more information here.
