"I first heard about TMH through an article in The Chapel Hill News. I had recently returned to the Triangle after moving away just a year before, when I'd sadly had to part ways with my Lewis Polier-designed modern house. I was surprised to hear about an organization dedicated to promoting and preserving modernism in our area. After reading the article, I went straight to the web site and browsed the for-sale listings, where I found another amazing modern house, this one designed by Raymond Sawyer. One quick look, and I was home again! In the past year, I've carefully renovated the house and gardens, and added a new kitchen. The house was featured on the TMH West Raleigh tour in November 2009. " - Adrianne Joergenson of Raleigh "My Modernist house sold -- and well over half the hits on the web site were referred via TMH." -- David Sykes of Apex
"People want to be safe and they want to be like everyone else. That's why everyone shops at The Gap. Realtors don't even like to use the word 'contemporary' in their advertisements. It's like the curse."-- former Modernist homeowner Lynda Calabrese of Charlotte
"Great news! I found a lovely couple to rent my mid-century modern house. He saw the house in your newsletter yesterday, came by in the afternoon, and they brought their deposit and rental application today. Wow, that was easy!" - Adrianne Joergenson of Raleigh
