The FOHH and many Goodman-designed communities in the DMV celebrated Charles Goodman from September 13-15, 2024, during the 1st LIVING MODERN-BUILDING COMMUNITY symposium.

Experts and enthusiasts focused on the legacy of Charles Goodman, visionary architect and community builder gathered for a weekend of lectures, discussions, networking and socializing during this weekend event.

Topics ranged from Goodman’s legacy to modern architecture and community planning to the challenges of maintaining a Goodman home to stories about living in Goodman houses and communities.

Participants toured two historic Goodman designs—a the Unitarian Universalist Church of  Arlington and Severeid House, a custom-designed hillside house in Alexandria.

FOHH thanks the wonderful speakers and panelists, supporters and sponsors, and all those who attended to show support for Charles Goodman and his work.

HOLLIN HILLS – A GROUNDBREAKING MODERN DEVELOPMENT

The Hollin Hills Historic District was designed by renowned MCM architect Charles Goodman and developed by Robert Davenport between 1949-1971. Hollin Hills intentionally marries irregularly-shaped home lots with existing topography. The MCM architectural style is protected by architectural covenants. The community includes over 480 single-family homes and 30+ acres of dedicated park lands with six unique parks and a wildlife sanctuary.

For more information on the Hollin Hills Historic District, check out the Civic Association of Hollin Hills (CAHH).
