Wilton Moderns

Here are some moderns and near moderns we have found in and around Wilton Connecticut. We are trying to find some information on these as well as seeing if we can't arrange closer looks.

There is an interesting diversity in Wilton Moderns from the iconic, Foster's Round House and Van Summern's family house to what I would term as either very early moderns or near moderns. That it has modern features like a flat roof, smaller footprint and the like but, from the experience of being in two of them on Route Seven, they are traditional 1950s style houses on the inside. The first house in our little photo tour below is one of these. The icons run in condition from possibly over restored to in need of repair (both those statements come from secondhand observations).

The houses seem to be clustered either in tight little bunches or in close proximity.

Here is our little drive-by photo tour. Hopefully more later.
