This exhibition excavates the unheralded l egacy of Alfred and Jane West Clauss\, who\, in 1939\, created the first m odern deed-restricted subdivision in America-known colloquially in Knoxvil le as “Little Switzerland.” In the process\, the Clausses laid the groundw ork for what we now recognize as regional modernism.\n
Through ori ginal artifacts—including photographs\, drawings\, posters\, furniture\, g raphic maps\, home videos\, and timelines—Seeds of Regionalism t races the DNA of this architectural subdivision and explores how the Claus ses’ move to East Tennessee inspired them to experiment with blending mode rnist ideas with local traditions and a strong sense of place.\n
