Built as commercial office space, this example of modernism sat on the edge of an early 20th century neighborhood in Berlin. Noteworthy for it predominance of brick and glass, along with its playfully sweeping roof and the repetitive abstract design decorating its entablature and band-course, it was razed in 2012.
To celebrate “May is Preservation Month 2013,” the N.H. Division of Historical Resources is focusing on some of our state’s newest historically important architecture. Constructed primarily between 1945 and 1975, examples of the Mid-20th Century Modern movement can be found across the state. Throughout May, we’ll post images of them and describe their unique characteristics.
