Utah Heritage Foundation

In October 2010, about 200 lucky people got to see one of the hidden gems Utah - the Westshire neighborhood in West Valley City.  Billed as Salt Lake Modern's Mini Mod Tour, four private homes were graciously opened to the public in this unique enclave off 2700 West and 4000 South.  The entire neighborhood was designed by architect Ron Molen and built by Research Homes starting in 1963.

We're pleased to say that the excitement generated by the tour hasn't ended.  The popular mid-century modern magazine Atomic Ranch has published a short piece in their Winter 2010 issue in the section titled "modern wisdom" on one of the tour's houses (pictured left, photo by UHF) along with two photographs.  Congratulations to Chris and Tessa Linford for getting included in the magazine!

We'll encourage all our readers to pick up a copy before the March 1 newsstand deadline to see it as well as the other articles on Palm Springs, Kentucky modern, Arkansas ranch, Open House:  Elm Grove, Wisconsin, dressing up your historic ranch, and Historic Georgia.  I will even add a personal endorsement as this is one of my favorite mags in print and always look forward to it coming in the mailbox in case you need some additional encouragement.
