Since 2021 is all about Travel & Leisure at Docomomo, we figured we would take a closer look at some of the amazing (and less publicized) Midcentury Modern examples of architecture that involve Northern California’s favorite mode of transport: automobiles. These structures pepper the map and are often forgotten about, so if you know of any good examples please read below how you can get in touch with us so we can include them in our next feature.
