The best way to preserve NC Modernist houses is to keep them occupied!  Without active owners and tenants, houses left vacant can die a slow, often painful death resulting in demolition.  As part of our ongoing preservation program, TMH provides free For Rent listings to reduce vacancy and get these houses the caring occupants they deserve.

SUBMISSIONS:  Submit any North Carolina Modernist house, whether by owner or through an agent.  Submissions are reviewed and edited within 48 hours and, if approved, posted shortly thereafter.  Please include the rental rate and other details in the comments.

If any listed houses are no longer for rent, please let us know.

"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 Joergensen of Raleigh
