SAVANNAH, Ga.—The Savannah College of Art and Design architectural history department presents a talk by state historic preservation officer Richard Cloues as part of its lecture series. “The Ordinary Iconic Ranch House” will take place Tuesday, Nov. 10, 6:30 p.m., at the SCAD Student Center, 120 Montgomery St. The lecture is free and open to the public.

Ranch houses were built by the thousands across the United States during the mid-20th century. Widely perceived today as quite ordinary, these houses are in fact extraordinary—hallmarks of a distinct historic period. Utilizing examples from across the state of Georgia, Cloues will explore how the ranch house represents new ideas about domestic architectural design and family life.

Cloues (B.A., art history, Amherst College; M.A. and Ph.D., architectural history and historic preservation, Cornell University) has been with the Historic Preservation Division of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources for nearly 30 years and has held the position of deputy state historic preservation officer since 1994. He is currently researching mid-20th-century house types and styles in Georgia and developing a statewide historic context for these houses in Georgia.
