Hood Century Is the Future of the Preservation Movement



Dwayne LeBlanc

It?s an Instagram account and brand that?s about ?showing mid-century modern in a dope-ass way,? says founder Jerald Cooper. When Jerald ?Coop? Cooper, a creative director and talent manager, was growing up in Cincinnati?s College Hill in the 1990s, he was into the things most kids were into: sports, rap, and animal cards from Columbia House. He didn?t give architecture much thought.
?I clearly remember the interiors of buildings, but have no real memory of exteriors at all as a kid,? Cooper says.
But the neighborhood, which is known for its abolitionist community and network of Underground Railroad safe houses, has its moments ? if you know where to look.
After a job in the music industry brought him to Los Angeles ? with its mid-century-modern Case Study homes stretching from the hills to the coast, and Googie architecture everywhere in between ? he began to nerd out on architecture. With a trained eye, he returned to Cincinnati this past autumn to visit family. On a walk around College Hill, he spotted three mid-century houses with low-slung, A-line roofs. Cooper didn?t think twice about these single-story brick abodes when he was a kid, but after spending so much time in L.A., he did a double take. He posted the homes to Instagram, and Hood Century got its start in the world.
