Modesto is situated In the San Joaquin Valley of Central California. Modesto has a fascinating history that began in the mid-1800s with excellent examples of Victorian and early 20th-century architecture, but the city is best known for its collection of Modernist buildings and landscapes, that was built by leading modernist architects from 1939 to the 1970s including Christopher Alexander, Anshen and Allen, John Funk, Joseph Escherick, Frank Lloyd Wright, William Wurster, and many others designed several structures for the people of Modesto. As the central valley has cool winters and hot dry summers, the architects combine their response to climate with local building customs, new building developments and techniques, and traditions of modernism to create an environmentally sensitive architecture. Some of the greatest examples of visually stunning Modern Architecture are Wilson House, Hall of Records, Heckendorf House, Modesto City Hall, Stanislaus County Library, and Walton House.
