The New Canaan Mid-Century Modern Houses Survey is a comprehensive study of mid-twentieth-century, architect-designed, Modern domestic properties located in New Canaan, Connecticut. The project aims to systematically document the area’s Modern houses, place them in an historical context, and assess their architectural and historical significance. To meet these goals, the study included a field survey of properties using a specifically tailored survey form, historic research, the creation of a glossary of Modern architectural terms and an assessment of the resources using the National Register of Historic Places Criteria for Evaluation.
