About George: George Smart’s life changed dramatically after he visited Fallingwater in 2007. That led him to a late night Google search, which became a website, which became a community.  Now his small but intrepid nonprofit staff and volunteers have built the largest open digital archives – free and searchable – of residential mid-century Modernist design in the world. George is founder and Executive Director of USModernist® and NCModernist®, nonprofit organizations dedicated to the documentation, preservation, and promotion of Modernist design.
