Georgetown Googie

When the Hat n' Boots were landmarked, the term Googie architecture was used in the application and presentation. I was just preusing Vintage Seattle and see there will be lecture at the Swedish Cultural Center (1920 Dexter Avenue NW).

Docomomo WEWA and its co-sponsors welcome California architecture critic Alan Hess to Seattle. He will examine how Googie architecture successfully combined Modernism and popular culture and why it is important today.

Alan Hess is the author of Googie Redux: Ultramodern Roadside Architecture (2004) and Googie: Fifties Coffee Shop Architecture (1985).
