Many preservation groups, including the National Trust for Historic Preservation, are beginning to explore the importance of Mid-Century architecture. Historic Columbus is also raising awarenes of these historic and significant Mid-Century properties through this year's Holiday Tour of Homes. Ranch Houses dominate Georgia’s twentieth-century domestic architecture. First occurring in the state in the 1930s, they became the house of choice for Georgians with as many as 175,000 built between 1940 and 1960. While other house types would enter the scene in the following decades, the Ranch maintained its popularity throughout the state and nation. There are seven architectural styles of the Ranch House: Contemporary, Wright-Influenced, Eichleresque, Colonial Revival, Plain, Rustic, and Spanish Colonial. This year's event will feature seven Ranch-style homes and a Mistletoe Market. For more information or to purchase tickets click HERE or call, 706-322-0756.
