  • The Ordinary Iconic Ranch House Is About the Mid-20Th-Century Ranch House in Georgia
    1 The Ordinary Iconic Ranch House Mid-20th Century Ranch Houses in Georgia PART V: DISTINCTIVE ASPECTS OF THE RANCH HOUSE IN GEORGIA September 2011 Richard Cloues, Ph.D. The Ordinary Iconic Ranch House is about the mid-20th-century Ranch House in Georgia. It is presented in six parts. Part V (this part) identifies the distinctive architectural and historical aspects of the “Georgia” Ranch House. Other parts of The Ordinary Iconic Ranch House tell other parts of the Ranch House story. 2 What accounts for this tremendous variety of new Ranch House designs all across Georgia at the middle of the 20th century? Something more than just the national trends and influences, as persuasive as they may have been? 3 Certainly the presence of professionally trained architects in the state contributed to this phenomenon: Precedent-setting architects such as David Cuttino in Atlanta, a 1928 graduate of the Clemson University School of Architecture, who after relocating to Georgia in the late 1930s designed the earliest Ranch Houses in Atlanta; 4 James H. “Bill” Finch, a Georgia Tech School of Architecture graduate, who introduced the Contemporary-style Ranch House to Atlanta in 1950 with the houses he designed for the Golf View subdivision -- but who then pretty much abandoned residential architecture for commercial and institutional buildings; 5 Ellamae Ellis League in Macon, classically trained at the Beaux-Arts Institute of Design in New York and then the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Fontainebleu France, who then established her own firm and in 1942 designed

  • The American Small House
    Slide HisHistortoriicc PrePreseservatvationion DiDivvisiisionon 1 Georgia Department of Natural Resources The American Small House Slide This presentation is about a new type of historic 2 house that has been identified in Georgia: the “American Small House.” It was identified through our office’s broader interest in mid-20th-century buildings in the state. Slide It all started from a vague sense that there was a 3 kind of house “out there” that was not well understood — something that seemed to “fit” between two well-recognized house types: Slide The early 20th-century bungalow on one side … 4 Slide … and the mid-20th-century ranch house on the 5 other. Slide But it was something quite different from either of 6 them. Slide And it was being called by a variety of names 7 including: “minimal traditional” house; “Depression-era” cottage; “War Years” cottage; “Victory” cottage; “economical small house”; and the “FHA House.” Slide As an office, we first encountered this type of 8 house several years ago in some National Register nominations for neighborhoods in the Atlanta metropolitan area: Oakland City, South Atlanta, Berkeley Park, and the Emory area. It also kept coming up in Section 106 environmental review projects, most involving highways. But this was all on a case-by-case basis with no overall sense of what we were dealing with. Slide The first real attempt to come to grips with this 9 type of house in Georgia was in a 2001 report on mid-20th-century housing in Atlanta prepared by graduate preservation students at Georgia State Atlanta Postwar University working with our office and the Atlanta Housing Urban Design Commission, the city’s historic 1944-1965 preservation office.
