“This Place Matters,” the theme of Historic Preservation Month, will be exemplified this Saturday, May 23, when Steven Eilenberg and Marie Tartar open their newly-restored Uptown Sedona home to the public.
The Eilenberg-Tartar home matters because it is one of Sedona’s best examples of Midcentury Modernism designed by notable architect Howard Madole, according to a press release.
The structure has been restored to its original form, and thus it serves to promote awareness of the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s goal of preserving the recent past with proper preservation practices.
The event is sponsored by Sedona’s Historic Preservation Commission. The Commission hopes to raise awareness of the power historic preservation has to protect and enhance the community, while at the same time allowing for an enjoyable afternoon of architecture appreciation.
“I hope the community comes for this unique opportunity to experience our heritage,” Commission Chairwoman Brynn Unger stated.
The public will be able to tour this design-inspiring home and to chat with architect Howard Madole. The owners of the home will also be on hand to share their restoration experiences.
The Eilenberg-Tartar home, located at 330 Apache Trail, will be open Saturday from 2 to 4 p.m. to the public at no charge. Refreshments will also be served. For more information, call Kathy Levin at (928) 203-5035.
