In partnership with the San Antonio Conservation Society, the Office of Historic Preservation (OHP) has undertaken a Mid-Century Modern (MCM) survey of properties built between 1945 and 1975. These mid-20th century resources are nearing or have exceeded 50 years of age and are becoming "historic" in their own right.
Mid-century modern architecture reflects the changing trends in building technology, materials and aesthetics that developed in the post-WWII decades. Clean lines and surfaces, minimal ornamentation, flat and irregular rooflines, plate glass windows, curtain wall construction and decorative screens and accent walls are all elements commonly found in MCM architecture.
