SUMMARY:Women in Maryland Architecture\, 1920-1970 (Virtual Talk)
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will highlight the research and documentation undertaken by EHT Traceries during the preparation of the National Register Multiple Property Documentation Form Women in Maryland Architecture\, 1920-1970. Educational and professional opportunities for women architects were limited throughout much of the twentieth century\, yet pioneering women contributed significantly to the built environment of Maryland. The struggle of women designers to obtain higher education and parity with men forms part of the broader social history of women’s efforts to achieve greater equality within American society. The Multiple Property Documentation Form\, prepared through the Historic Preservation Non-Capital Grant program awarded to BAF by the Maryland Historical Trust\, examines the careers of women designers including architects\, landscape architects\, and artists in Maryland who were active between 1920-1970 and situates their stories within this broader national context. The achievements of pioneers such as Gertrude Sawyer\, Chloethiel Woodard Smith\, and Helen Ross Staley helped pave the way for a twenty-first-century architectural profession where women architects are appreciated and celebrated for their contributions. \nThe presentation will examine the early history of women’s involvement in the architectural field\, the educational opportunities available\, and the challenges they faced in establishing their careers. It will also explore the work of women designers active in Maryland during the 1920-1970 period\, representing a wide spectrum of building types\, landscapes\, and public art. In order to place these resources in context\, the presentation will consider the aesthetic\, cultural\, and economic themes that shaped architecture and development in Maryland during the twentieth century\, providing both opportunities and obstacles to women design professionals. \n  \nAbout the presenter \nJohn Gentry is Senior Architectural Historian at EHT Traceries\, Inc.\, a historic preservation consulting firm based in Washington\, D.C. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in History from DePaul University and a Masters in Historic Preservation from the University of Maryland\, College Park.

He has successfully listed individual properties and districts in the National Register of Historic Places and local landmark registries in Maryland\, the District of Columbia\, Virginia\, and several other U.S. states. In addition\, he has completed numerous compliance-driven survey and documentation projects for government agencies\, architects\, and developers.

SUMMARY:The Life and Work of Architect Poldi Hirsch (Virtual Talk)
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will examine the life and work of Harford County architect Poldi Hirsch\, AIA\, looking at her career as a female architect in Maryland during the 1960s\, her design philosophy and influences\, and her principal works. Born in Germany in 1926\, Poldi Hirsch was one of several European-born or trained architects who practiced in Maryland during the postwar period. Educated in Israel and Switzerland\, Hirsch immigrated to the U.S. with her husband and children in 1953\, eventually settling in Havre de Grace\, where she established an architectural practice. Hirsch focused on residential design\, including multi-family apartment buildings and single-family dwellings\, and her work in Havre de Grace reflects West Coast and European approaches to modernism tempered with an awareness of the social dimension of residential design. The biography of Poldi Hirsch\, who struggled to establish her career in Havre de Grace despite her talent and European architectural training\, is a testament to the perseverance of women architects\, and illustrates the progress made by women for greater gender equality during the twentieth century. \nThe presentation will focus particularly on the Hirsch Family Residence in Havre de Grace\, which was designed by Poldi Hirsch and constructed in 1969-1970. The Hirsch Residence is one of the significant modernist residences designed by Poldi Hirsch in Havre de Grace during the 1960s that embodies the core tenets of the Modern Movement. Hirsch\, and her physician husband\, Gunther Hirsch\, sought to provide a healthier living environment for families through a merger of public health and design\, and her residential designs feature ample natural daylighting\, spatial organization attuned to the needs of working families\, and a merger of the indoor and outdoor experience. The Hirsch Residence displays all of these characteristics\, and its sleek modernist lines\, exterior of California Redwood and locally quarried stone\, and non-traditional fenestration stand apart from other houses in Havre de Grace constructed during the same period. This presentation will highlight the research and documentation undertaken by EHT Traceries during the preparation of a National Register of Historic Places nomination for the Hirsch Residence. The documentation\, prepared through the Historic Preservation Non-Capital Grant program awarded to BAF by the Maryland Historical Trust\, builds upon the Multiple Property Documentation Form Women in Maryland Architecture\, 1920-1970\, presented in Session 1. \n  \nAbout the presenter \nJohn Gentry is Senior Architectural Historian at EHT Traceries\, Inc.\, a historic preservation consulting firm based in Washington\, D.C.
