Carderock Springs addition keeps with neighborhood’s modern architecture

Jennifer Fry moved back to her childhood home and realized that, while the kitchen was long past its prime, any makeover would have to fit in with the historic Carderock Springs neighborhood in Bethesda.

Carderock Springs embraces mid-century modernism with homes designed and built by Edmund Bennett in the 1960s. It’s called situated modernism, where the natural landscape dominates the built environment. The neighborhood officially was listed on the National Park Service’s National Register of Historic Places in 2009.
