Shorewood homes built in the 1920s are frequently the focus of our architectural research. We overlook the many houses that were added to Village neighborhoods mid-century. Close to 900 homes were constructed between 1930 and 1960. Some were “fill-ins,” others were replacements.
In her presentation, “Shorewood Modern,” Annemarie Sawkins will help us to look more closely at these late additions to our neighborhoods, to recognize the popular styles and understand what motivated builders and homeowners.
Annemarie Sawkins is an architectural historian and independent curator as well as a Shorewood resident and Life member of our organization.
