Mid-Century Modern sites in Anderson featured on June 6 tour

Event features private residences and a standout Modernist office building, showcasing designs from the 1950s-70s.

On June 6, Indiana Landmarks’ popular “Back to the Future” tour highlighting Mid-Century Modern architecture will feature five Mid-Century Modern properties dating from 1958 to 1972 in Anderson, including private residences and a standout Modernist office building.

Mid-Century Modern houses often incorporate walls of windows, skylights, and other features that maximize views of surrounding nature, blurring the boundaries between indoors and outdoors. Tour stops include the following:

  • The 1958 home of Steven and Darlene Tague on Beauvoir Circle
  • The 1962 home of Logan and Kayla Whitesell on Overlook Drive
  • The 1964 home of Roger and Susie Reed on Van Buskirk Road
  • The 1972 home of Kyle and Wendy Gerard on East 500 North
  • The 1964 former Church of God Home Mission and Church Extension office on University Boulevard, now home to PlainSong Music Services

Tour headquarters is the Anderson Community School Corporation office at 1600 Hillcrest Ave., Anderson, Indiana.

“Back to the Future” is presented by Indiana Modern, an affinity group of Indiana Landmarks that works to preserve and promote the best of mid-twentieth century architecture, design, and landscapes across the state.
