About the tour

This year’s “Mad about Modern” tour features five homes and one commercial space in East and South Charlotte, Myers Park and NoDa. Tickets are available at madaboutmodern.com.

In addition to the homes and St. Mark’s Lutheran Church at 1001 Queens Road, which was built in 1960, a couple of events will bookend the tour:

• Mod experience: A kickoff party at the The Charlotte Museum of History on Thursday, Sept. 22, will celebrate midcentury modern design and style. Jim Owens of Alter Architects will give a talk about how today’s architects can give new life to midcentury modern homes.
• Museum admission: Your ticket includes admission to The Charlotte Museum of History on Saturday, Sept. 24. While you’re there, don’t miss “Charlotte: Signs of Home,” featuring vintage signs from Charlotte places over the past 50 years, including The Penguin, South 21 Drive In and Eastland Mall.
