Little Switzerland

In 1939, two relatively unknown architects, Alfred and Jane West Clauss, began purchasing properties on Little Switzerland Road in South Knoxville, Tennessee. Drawing on their formative experiences with renowned architects Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier, respectively, they embarked on an exploration of modernist architecture from 1939-1945 that would establish them as pioneers of regional modernism.

Organized by the Knoxville Museum of Art in conjunction with John Sanders & Richard-Allen Foster.
