“We think you can learn more this way,” says Adria Focht, president and CEO of the Charlotte Museum of History, of the in-depth, 360-degree online tour. “Our digital guidebook — new this year — will give people a deeper dive into the architecture and history of each home,” including the two properties owned by Miller and a third residence at 410 Lockley Drive. The renovated Eastover home was built in 1973 and incorporates MCM elements such as a two-sided brick fireplace, a floating staircase and a bright coral front door. There’s a live lecture — also online, of course — by George Smart, a modernism expert who goes by the monikers Mr. Modernism and The Accidental Archivist, on Saturday, Sept. 26 at 6 p.m. Smart, who has spoken at Palm Springs Modernism Week and hosts the podcast “USModernist Radio,” will share examples
of the best midcentury design in Charlotte. You can watch from the comfort of your own couch. As it happens, aerocars aren’t necessary. The Jetsons would likely have their minds blown by a home tour you take without ever leaving your own home. SP Mad About Modern will be held virtually from Saturday, Sept. 26 through Sunday, Oct. 4. Tickets for the virtual home tour only are $20 and are available at madaboutmodern.com. For the package, including the George Smart lecture, tickets are $30. Proceeds benefit the Charlotte Museum of History. You can follow the Cohen-Fumero House on Instagram at @cohenfumerohouse. Questions?
