Today, the National Trust for Historic Preservation <\/a>released their annual list <\/a>of the 11 most endangered places in the U.S. While none of them are in Montgomery County, the list includes two mid-century modern buildings–the Worldport Terminal at JFK Airport <\/a>and the Houston Astrodome<\/a>–a recogonition that recent history is also historic.<\/p>\n

In fact, The National Register of Historic Places, which sets out criteria for historic designation, generally recognizes that 50 years is a reasonable remove from which to conisder history. The register is alos looking for\u00a0buildings associate with events or a\u00a0noted person, those that can share information or reflect the work of a master, and those that exhibit unique construction or artistry.<\/p>\n

That age deadline and those criteria have been applied in our own County, for example at the Carderock Springs<\/a> community, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Place in 2009, “as a prime example of situated modernism where houses completment and blend in with the landscape.” You can see more of the County’s mid-century architecture at Montgomery Modern<\/a>.<\/p>\n
