Keith York, a native San Diegan, documents the region’s modernist architecture heritage at modernsandiego.com, as well as lectures, publishes, and curates on the topic. As a real estate professional, Keith works with buyers and sellers of distinct architect-designed properties. Following his widely-published restoration of Craig Ellwood’s Bobertz Residence (1953), Keith restored architect Sim Bruce Richards’ personal residence in Point Loma and secured its designation as a historic site. His recent book, The Sensuous Environment: Sim Bruce Richards, Architect, serves as a capstone to decades of research on the San Diego designer. Serving as both author and publisher, Mr. York has recently issued Mosher Drew: The First 75 Years, The Distinct Modernism of San Diego and a trilogy of books on architect Craig Ellwood. Across the last decade, Keith has curated several exhibitions Frank Lloyd Wright’s Legacy in San Diego: The Taliesin Apprentices (2015), Julius Shulman: Modern La Jolla (2019), Julius Shulman: Modern San Diego (2019), and The Sensuous Environment (2023).
