Mid Century Modern Tour
The Cooley House Foundation recently held a weekend celebration of Monroe’s iconic Mid Century Modern Architecture. On Friday, October 26, the weekend kicked off with a fun happy hour at Cory Bahr’s Parish Restaurant, a newly renovated modern building located in downtown Monroe. The following day started with a home tour of four Monroe MCM iconic homes. The homes included the homes of Jane and Gus Campbell, Dr. and Mrs. Buddy Bodron, Nathan Ryan and Mr. and Mrs. Bill Lockhart, as well as the GB Cooley House. Guests enjoyed lunch and a talk from interior designer Mil Bodron held at the Temple B’nai Israel. Funds from the event will go towards renovations at The Cooley House, including restoration of the cork flooring, improvements to the wiring and restoration of lighting throughout the home, in addition to the general upkeep of the historic structure.
