Architect Spotlight: The Arc(hitecture) of John Yeon
Check this exclusive tour off of your Modernism ‘Bucket List!’
Yeon, considered a founding pioneer of Northwest Regional Modernism, designed two incredible homes across the street from one another and Restore Oregon is curating a fabulous experience you don’t want to miss!
In line with our 2025 Modernism theme, OREGON MADE, we are putting the spotlight on architect John Yeon. This exciting event features his first built project, the Watzek House, and one of his last residential projects, the Cottrell House, which has never before been offered on a public tour. To see the arc of how John Yeon’s architecture evolved over time in one tour is sure to be a thrill!
Guests will appreciate an extended, three-hour tour window to explore both homes at their leisure as well as catered refreshments, including sparkling beverages and heavy appetizers. Tickets are limited to 50 guests per tour session allowing for a relaxed and spacious experience.
