SUMMARY:Mermaids & Promenades: Schaefer and the Cultural Redevelopment of Baltimore (Virtual Talk)
DESCRIPTION:Mary Rizzo will examine forgotten moments from Schaefer’s terms as mayor. \nIn the 1970s\, Mayor William Donald Schaefer used arts and culture to sell a new image of Baltimore as quirky and charming to both tourists and business leaders. In this talk\, Mary Rizzo will examine forgotten moments from Schaefer’s terms as mayor\, from the creation of a failed local version of the Oscars\, called “The Don” awards to honor Baltimore’s film business\, to the Baltimore Promenade\, a public art project designed to integrate city neighborhoods through the act of walking. While Schaefer is remembered for large-scale projects like Harborplace and stunts like posing with a mermaid for the opening of the Baltimore aquarium\, his legacy should include his reimagining city government to include arts and culture–for good and ill. \nPresenter Bio: \nMary Rizzo is Assistant Professor of History at Rutgers University-Newark. She works at the intersection of inclusive public history\, digital humanities\, urban studies\, and 20th century U.S. cultural history. She is the author of Come and Be Shocked: Baltimore Beyond John Waters and The Wire (Johns Hopkins University Press\, 2020) and Class Acts: Young Men and the Rise of Lifestyle (University of Nevada Press). She is the founder of the Chicory Revitalization Project\, which uses the black community poetry magazine Chicory to spur dialogue on place and identity. Follow it on Instagram @Chicory_Baltimore. She tweets as @rizzo_pubhist. \n\nThis program is hosted on Zoom. Upon registering you will receive an email confirmation and a Zoom link.

SUMMARY:Trailblazing Architect: Kathleen Sherrill (Virtual Talk)
DESCRIPTION:To cap off Women’s History Month\, we are highlighting trailblazers who rose to leadership in the community and the profession. \nAs part of the celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Baltimore Chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA)\, we are hosting conversations with trailblazing architects in Baltimore\, discussing their impact on the profession and our communities. To cap off Women’s History Month\, we are featuring Kathleen P. S. Sherrill\, AIA\, NOMA\, NCARB\, LEED AP\, the first (and only) African American to serve as president of AIA Baltimore in 2012 and AIA Maryland in 2016.

In highlighting these projects\, she will call on the needed leadership development of the professional community. She firmly believes that architects should challenge themselves to play a key role in improving and supporting Baltimore’s underserved neighborhoods. Guiding communities to invest in themselves and the next generation through ownership. Raising awareness of what a community can become through revitalization\, not gentrification. Helping residents discover “pride of place” in where they identified as home. It’s critical to the survival of these communities and our city. \nKathleen founded her firm of SP Arch Inc. in 2005 with former partner Mahendra Parekh (who retired in 2008). It offers a broad array of planning\, architectural design\, and landscape architecture services. In 2011\, Kathleen was awarded both Top 100 Minority Business Enterprises in the Mid-Atlantic Region and outstanding alumni by the School of Architecture and Planning at Morgan State University (MSU). She has served as a guest lecturer at MSU and as an adjunct professor teaching Management\, Practice\, and Law. In 2017\, Kathleen helped establish the local chapter of the National Organization of Minority Architects (NOMA) and served as its first president.

SUMMARY:Trailblazing Architect: Barbara Wilks (Virtual Talk)
DESCRIPTION:To cap off Women’s History Month\, we are highlighting trailblazers who rose to leadership in the community and the profession. \nAs part of the celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Baltimore Chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA)\, we are hosting conversations with trailblazing architects who have impacted Baltimore’s built environment and rose to leadership positions in their profession. April 2nd’s Virtual History will feature Barbara Wilks\, FAIA\, FASLA\, one of the few professionals elected to both the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects (in 1999) and to the College of Fellows of the American Society of Landscape Architects (in 2010)\, the highest honor in those professions. During her residence in Baltimore\, she rose to become the first woman president of the AIA Baltimore Chapter\, serving for two years from 1983-1984. \nBarbara Wilks\, FAIA\, FASLA\, is a leader in design and interdisciplinary thinking\, with over 40 years of experience in urban design\, public\, and institutional projects.

Her award-winning public waterfronts can be found in Baltimore (Tide Point)\, Calgary\, Tampa\, St. Petersburg\, Buffalo\, and New York. https://w-architecture.com \nShe will discuss the development of her early waterfront work in Baltimore’s harbor and how that grew into her focus today\, addressing places where city and nature come together and form new relationships\, and how well-designed places can result in more sustainable relationships between ourselves\, our communities\, and the earth. \nIntroducing Barbara Wilks is Jillian Storms\, AIA\, who once worked with Barbara for over a decade at Cho Wilks & Benn Architects (now Quinn Evans Architects). She more recently led the Early Women of Architecture in Maryland project\, culminating in a traveling exhibit and extensive programming for which she received BAF’s Roger Redden Award and Preservation Maryland’s Volunteer Award.

SUMMARY:The Invention of Downtown: A Virtual Talk by Charlie Duff
DESCRIPTION:How did Downtown as we know it come to be? Charlie Duff explains using London and Baltimore as examples. \nIn 1666\, the Great Fire of London destroyed the center of a city of 500\,000 people and made 80\,000 people homeless. \nIn 1904\, the Great Baltimore Fire destroyed the center of a city of 500\,000 people\, and not one person became homeless. \nIn between those two dates\, the North Atlantic cities invented the Central Business District. From Baltimore to London\, the centers of cities became places where tens of thousands of people worked and no one lived. \nJoin Charlie Duff\, author of The North Atlantic Cities\, to find out how this happened and what the architectural results were – and why it didn’t happen in Paris\, Rome\, and the other great cities of Continental Europe. \n\nThis program is hosted on Zoom. Upon registering you will receive an email confirmation and a Zoom link. If you do not receive a link\, please contact ndennies@aiabalt.com. If you do not contact us at least 1 hour prior to the start of the program\, we cannot guarantee admittance. \nThe Baltimore Architecture Foundation (BAF) and Baltimore Heritage present a series of 30 minute live virtual tours and presentations focusing on Baltimore architecture\, preservation and history. \nTickets are donation based.

SUMMARY:Patterson Park - The Jewel of Baltimore's Eastside (Virtual Talk)
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will cover the park’s history and the Olmsted vision for the site! \nPatterson Park is an urban oasis – a beloved green space surrounded by brick rowhouses\, diverse cultures and neighborhoods. Generations of Baltimoreans have picnicked under its tall tulip poplars\, strolled the deeply curved paths and enjoyed the rich architectural design of this 137-acre East Baltimore park. \nThis presentation will touch on the park’s history\, from its earliest beginnings as a 6-acre “Public Walk” donated to the city by William Patterson in April 1827\, to its growth and development under the guiding hands of George A. Frederick\, designer of City Hall\, who served as Park Architect from 1863 to 1895\, and of Charles H. Latrobe\, who served as Engineer and General Superintendent of Parks from 1884 to 1902. Both were responsible for such impressive structures as the iconic Patterson Park Observatory\, a 60-foot tall tower built at top Hampstead Hill for its incredible views of the harbor and the city. \nIn 1904\, the Olmsted Brothers Landscape Architects were hired to prepare a plan for the Eastern extension of the park. Their 1904 “Report Upon the Development of Public Grounds for Greater Baltimore” had urged for an expansion of the park to “offer the working people of East Baltimore a conveniently accessible body of refreshing scenery\, retired to a great degree from the turmoil of the city.” The firm\, founded by Frederick Law Olmsted\, designer of Central Park\, and continued by his sons\, Frederick Law Olmsted\, Jr. and John Charles\, were the leading park architects of the day and continued to enhance the park’s design through 1915. \nIn Patterson Park\, one can see the two sides of the Olmsted vision: the pastoral vistas and sweeping hills championed by the senior Olmsted and carried on by his sons\, as well as the recognition by the younger Olmsteds of the features required by the active recreation movement of the period. The role of Patterson Park in creating social cohesiveness and quality of life is still paramount\, nearly two centuries from its humble beginnings. This presentation will feature fascinating insights and rich historical imagery of this Jewel of Baltimore’s Eastside. \nPresenter \nTim Almaguer has been hiking through\, learning from and working with urban parks for over 20 years\, first with the Friends of Patterson Park for over 10 years and now as the Chief of Community Engagement and Strategic Partnership at Baltimore City Recreation and Parks. Tim received a Master degree in Recreation and Parks Management from Frostburg State University and wrote “Baltimore’s Patterson Park” in 2006\, published by Arcadia Publishing. \n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nIn this Virtual Histories Series\, the Baltimore Architecture Foundation (BAF) and Baltimore Heritage host weekly 30-minute lunchtime presentations on Zoom focusing on Baltimore architecture\, preservation\, and history. Attendees have the opportunity to ask questions of the presenter(s). Upon registering\, you will receive an email confirmation and a Zoom link.

SUMMARY:The Robert F. Kennedy Funeral Train: The People’s View from Baltimore (Virtual Lecture)
DESCRIPTION:Rein Jelle Terpstra will discuss his project to collect photographs of Kennedy’s funeral train passing through Baltimore. \nOn June 8 1968\, the Robert F Kennedy Funeral Train rode through Baltimore\, on its way to Washington D.C.\, carrying the body of Senator Robert F Kennedy. On board the train was photographer Paul Fusco\, who during the journey photographed the many bewildered mourners paying their final respects. A cross-section of American society—Black and White\, city-dwellers and country folk—all stared at the slowly passing train. \nWe hope you’ll join us to hear photographer Rein Jelle Terpstra talk about his project to search for the reverse photographic perspective: pictures and films made by the bystanders that stood along the railroad that day. Here\, the mourners do not merely play a role in someone else’s pictures\, but are the photographers and filmmakers themselves. With their cameras\, they gazed back at the train and recorded it in their own fashion. On his research trips\, Terpstra visited almost all of the places that the funeral train passed through in an effort to track down people who took photographs of the train passing. This project is entirely based on memories\, snapshots\, home movies\, and sound\, recorded by bystanders standing along the tracks that day. \nThe project was on show at the Museum of Modern Art\, San Francisco\, in Les Rencontres D’Arles (France 2018)\, the International Center of Photography (New York City 2018) and the Nederlands Fotomuseum\, Rotterdam (2019). \n  \nAbout the Speaker \nRein Jelle Terpstra teaches fine arts and photography at Minerva Art Academy\, Groningen (NL). After a residency at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten (Amsterdam)\, he began investigating the relationships between perception\, memory and history by making slideshow installations and books. His work is held in various collections\, including the collection of the SFMOMA (San Francisco)\, MoMA Library (New York)\, EYE Film Museum (Amsterdam)\, Nederlands Fotomuseum (Rotterdam)\, The Royal Museum of Arts (Brussels)\, Yale University Library (New Haven)\, and the Getty Research Institute (Los Angeles). During the spring of 2017\, Terpstra undertook a Smithsonian Artist Research Fellowship in Washington\, D.C. to work on the subject of this lecture. \n\nAbout this Event \n\n\nThis program is hosted on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Designing the AVAM – Winner of Baltimore Architecture Madness
DESCRIPTION:AVAM Founder and Director Rebecca Hoffberger\, and architects Rebecca Swanston and Diane Cho celebrate the design of this Baltimore treasure! \nThe American Visionary Art Museum (AVAM) was crowned winner of BAF’s Architecture Madness Tournament\, which included 64 exceptional Baltimore buildings built between 1870 and today\, hosted in celebration of AIA Baltimore’s 150th anniversary.We’ll be joined by AVAM founder and director Rebecca Hoffberger and architects Diane Cho and Rebecca Swanston to celebrate and reflect upon the design of Baltimore’s most beloved building of the past 150 years. \n\n\n\n\nCompleted in 1995\, AVAM is a brilliant example of sculptural expression. Architect Rebecca Swanston\, FAIA and designer Alex Castro incorporated the curving Trolley Works building and enlarged it with an addition that echoes its curves and creates a strong sense of motion. Its playful\, eye-catching facade\, created by youth in the Maryland Department of Juvenile Services as a way to provide them with tangible skills and personal development\, was an echoing sentiment from Rebecca Alban Hoffberger\, Founder/Director and Primary Curator of AVAM that “social justice is life’s highest performance art”. The shimmering and whimsy exterior mirrors the artworks found inside by self-taught individuals that make AVAM one of the city’s most beloved institutions. Architect Diane Cho\, AIA of Cho Benn Holback + Associates (today Quinn Evans) led the 2004 expansion of the museum transforming an old whiskey barrel warehouse into AVAM’s Jim Rouse Visionary Center. Both projects are stellar examples of adaptive use – the creative repurposing of historic buildings. \nWhen asked to describe why they voted the way they did\, Architecture Madness voters emphasized how AVAM’s architecture embodies the museum’s spirit. As one voter put it\, “It feels alive. It feels like a building that embraces all people and inspires creativity and a sense of wonder.” \nAbout this Event\n\n\nThis program is hosted on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Morgan State University: National Treasure and Model for Preservation (Virtual Talk)
DESCRIPTION:On its five-year anniversary as a designated National Treasure\, we will hear about the University’s stewardship of its historic buildings. \nIn May 2016\, the nation’s leading preservation organization\, the National Trust for Historic Preservation\, designated Morgan State University a National Treasure. The designation served to recognize the University’s significance as an HBCU (Historically Black College and University) and as a compelling example of the challenges that colleges across the country face in stewarding their historic buildings while redeveloping their historic campuses. \nFounded in 1867 as one of the nation’s earliest institutions to offer post-secondary education for African Americans and the largest in the state of Maryland\, Morgan State University’s urban campus has an impressive collection of historic buildings. The University’s varied built landscape features 20 contributing structures—ranging from Classical and Italianate to Modern and Brutalist—eligible for listing on the National Register. Buildings on the campus were designed by pioneering and celebrated black architects such as Albert Cassell\, Hilyard Robinson\, Louis Fry\, and Leon Bridges. In addition\, the University is home to one of six HBCU accredited architecture programs and the only one accredited in historic preservation. \nIn its effort towards preserving the rich cultural legacy of HBCUs\, the National Trust joined forces with the University to envision a forward-thinking stewardship strategy for preserving HBCU campuses. The partnership aimed at developing a campus heritage preservation plan for Morgan State University – a critical tool to inform campus master planning – that could be applied at other HBCUs across the country. \nOn its five-year anniversary as a designated National Treasure\, we will hear about the University’s progress to create a preservation roadmap that stewards the many historic buildings on campus\, while planning wisely for the university’s long-term\, sustainable future. \nAbout the Presenter: \nDale Glenwood Green is a descendant of Reverend Samuel Green\, Sr. (a Visionary Founder of Morgan State University)\, Morgan Alumnus (a inaugural student of the Morgan undergraduate architecture program)\, and Professor of Architecture and Lead Faculty for Historic Preservation at Morgan State University School of Architecture and Planning. He has been teaching and leading research on Morgan’s campus heritage since he joined the faculty in 2008. He along with his faculty colleagues and students have collaborated with the University and the National Trust for Historic Preservation on preserving the campus and individually listing the University Memorial Chapel on the National Register of Historic Places. He has been leading the Preservation in Practice summer program with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation\, National Parks Service and the National Trust for Historic Preservation. \n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nIn this Virtual Histories Series\, the Baltimore Architecture Foundation (BAF) and Baltimore Heritage host weekly 30-minute lunchtime live presentations on Zoom focusing on Baltimore architecture\, preservation\, and history. Upon registering\, you will receive an email confirmation and a Zoom link. If you do not receive a link\, please contact ndennies@aiabalt.com at least 1-hour prior to the start of the program or cannot guarantee admittance. \nReservations are donation-based.

SUMMARY:Camden Yards: Greatest Ballpark in America (Virtual Talk)
DESCRIPTION:Oriole Park at Camden Yards consistently ranks among the top ballparks in the world\, and has had a profound influence on ballpark design since it opened in 1992. The design broke away from the idea that stadiums should be on the outskirts of cities surrounded by massive parking lots. Instead\, Camden Yards was placed near the heart of Downtown and designed to complement its historic surroundings and incorporates the site of Camden Station with the 1905 B&O Warehouse. Camden Yards ushered in the trend for retro ballpark design and demonstrated that the best stadiums are those that are integrated into the urban fabric of the city. \nCamden Yards made it to the semifinals of BAF’s Architecture Madness tournament\, which included 64 exceptional Baltimore buildings built between 1870 and today\, hosted in celebration of AIA Baltimore’s 150th anniversary. We’ll explore what makes Camden Yards one of the top ballparks in the world. \n  \nAbout the Speaker:  \nJanet Marie Smith is best known in baseball for her work on Oriole Park at Camden Yards\, which set the standard for a new wave of ballparks after its opening in 1992. Smith worked for the Orioles from 1989-94 as vice president of planning and development during the design and construction of the park. She later re-joined the club from 2009-12 to direct renovations and expansion of the Orioles’ spring training facility in Sarasota\, FL.\, and upgrades to Camden Yards.From 2002-2009\, Smith served as senior vice president of planning and development for the Boston Red Sox\, overseeing the preservation and expansion of Fenway Park. Smith was president of Turner Sports and Entertainment Development and vice president of planning and development for the Atlanta Braves from 1994-2000\, when she helped transform the 1996 Olympic Stadium into Turner Field and she oversaw the development of the Philips Arena\, then home to the NBA Hawks and NHL Thrashers. \nAbout this Event:\n\n\nThis program is hosted on Zoom.

SUMMARY:The History and Award Winning Renovation of the Pratt Central Library (Virtual Talk)
DESCRIPTION:Sandra Vicchio and Jillian Storms discuss the design of the Pratt Central Library\, one of Baltimore’s most beloved buildings. \nThe Pratt Central Library achieved second place in BAF’s Architecture Madness tournament of Baltimore’s best buildings built between 1870 and today and hosted in celebration of AIA Baltimore’s 150th anniversary. In today’s Virtual History\, we’ll explore what makes this library so special and how it served as a national model for libraries that followed. \nIn 1882\, Enoch Pratt gave a whopping $1 million gift to Baltimore City to launch the nation’s first free library system\, proclaiming\, “My library shall be for all\, rich and poor without distinction of race or color…” This welcoming vision was echoed in the 1929 design of the system’s new central branch\, starting with its street-level main entrance on Cathedral Street\, going against the grain of architectural design for grand civic institutions at the time. Architect Clyde N. Friz hoped to give the library “a dignity characterized by friendliness rather than aloofness” avoiding the old-fashioned institutional character of past libraries. When Baltimore’s Central Library opened on Cathedral Street in 1933\, it displayed its featured content in large bay windows along its street facade enticing all to enter\, much like department stores on nearby Howard Street. \nToday\, the Central Library serves more than half a million people a year and recently received a $115 million\, three-year renovation. Its exterior and interiors were gorgeously restored and fully transformed for the digital age with up-to-date systems and technology masterfully integrated into the historic fabric. Dropped ceilings were removed to reveal fabulous stenciling\, decorative molding damaged in prior renovations was restored by artisans\, and historically appropriate new lighting was installed to make the rooms feel light and airy. The results are stunning. \nCome join us as we hear from our two presenters about this award-winning library\, inviting and comfortable for all who enter\, and one that will fill you with civic pride. Gordon Krabbe\, Chief Operating Officer of the Enoch Pratt Free Library\, will be introducing our presenters. \nAbout the Presenters: \nJillian Storms\, AIA\, has done extensive architectural research on numerous architects who practiced in Maryland\, including Clyde N. Friz\, AIA\, who holds the first architectural licence issued by the State of Maryland. She is a former President of the BAF and now serves as co-chair of its research committee\, the Dead Architects’ Society. She serves as a capital programs manager at the School Facilities Branch of the Maryland State Department of Education. \nSandra Parsons Vicchio\, AIA\, NCARB\, LEED AP\, is founding principal of Sandra Vicchio & Associates\, LLC\, with more than 30 years of experience in programming\, planning\, architecture\, and design. Her portfolio includes historic preservation\, renovation\, and new construction encompassing laboratory\, office\, academic\, administrative\, visitor center\, library\, and museum spaces. She co-authored the 2015 book The Living Library: An Intellectual Ecosystem and served as consulting architect on the Pratt Central Library renovation project team\, along with lead architects\, Beyer Blinder Belle\, and managing architects\, Ayers Saint Gross. \n\nAbout this event\n\n\nThis program is hosted on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Designs on Victory: Olmsted-Inspired Garden City Plans for Historic Dundalk (Virtual Talk)
DESCRIPTION:Amy Menzer discusses the design and development of WWI Era Historic Dundalk! \nThe Bethlehem Steel Mill at Sparrows Point launched an effort to create a Garden City-style town in 1917 just before the US entered WWI. At the same time\, the Federal Government began housing production for war workers. Frederick Law Olmsted\, Jr. (FLO Jr.) headed the Town Planning division of the new United States Housing Corporation. Several colleagues in the nascent profession of city planning who had worked with FLO Jr. on Roland Park and Forest Hills Gardens were all directly involved in designing Dundalk\, including Baltimore architect Edward Palmer\, Roland Park Company leader Edward Bouton\, and architects Grosvenor Atterbury and Charles Wellford Leavitt. Their plans were inspired by their designs for more affluent areas\, including curvilinear streets\, separation of uses\, green spaces\, and restrictive covenants. We will explore how these plans created a new community for workers and managers\, but was segregated by race. \nPresenters \nAmy E. Menzer is executive director of Dundalk Renaissance\, a 20 year-old non-profit community development organization\, and is deeply interested in planning history and neighborhood change. She also serves as a Board member of the Friends of Maryland’s Olmsted Parks and Landscapes. She previously worked for Citizens Planning and Housing Association on housing and transportation advocacy\, and has served as President of the Community Development Network of Maryland\, NeighborSpace Baltimore County\, the Patterson Park Neighborhood Association\, and the Transit Riders League of Metropolitan Baltimore.

SUMMARY:The Church of the Redeemer: Baltimore's Beloved Modernist Church (Virtual Talk)
DESCRIPTION:Mark Schroeder will discuss the history\, design\, and lasting impact of the church\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Church of the Redeemer made it to the semifinals of BAF’s Architecture Madness tournament\, which included 64 exceptional Baltimore buildings built between 1870 and today\, hosted in celebration of AIA Baltimore’s 150th anniversary. We’ll explore what makes this modernist church so beloved by Baltimoreans. \nThe Church of the Redeemer was built in 1958 and designed by architect Pietro Belluschi in collaboration with RTKL. It is a Mid-Century Modern\, re-interpretive addition to the original 1856 church by R. Snowden Andrews (1830-1903). Its sophisticated design integrates original stone and like materials to create a modern spirituality of the time. \nPeitro Belluschi (1899-1994) was born in Italy\, and moved to Portland\, Oregon in the 1920’s. His churches and residences reflected a Pacific Northwest vernacular of wood and stone\, while his seminal commercial work was more modern in its materials vocabulary. We will tour the 1856 historic chapel\, and the 1958 church and supporting administration wing and will view some of the original drawings and documentation of the Belluschi work. \n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nThis program is hosted on Zoom.

SUMMARY:A Spy in the Neighborhood of Charles Village (Virtual Talk)
DESCRIPTION:Alger Hiss\, a native Baltimorean\, was a government official accused of spying for the Soviet Union In one of the most spectacular Cold War era trials in the U.S.\, Hiss was convicted of perjury. Hiss’s accuser was Whittaker Chambers\, a confessed Communist Spy turned Conservative Republican. \nRegardless of what conclusions the reader reaches from the mountain of evidence and the books that have been written about the Alger Hiss case\, much of the narrative by Whittaker Chambers may have been composed in a modest house in Charles Village\, 2610 St. Paul Street\, a typical example of detached domestic architecture in Baltimore often overlooked by architectural historians. \nPresenting is Ed Papenfuse\, retired Maryland State Archivist and Chair of the Baltimore City Historical Society Board. Ed is also a member of the BAF Dead Architects Society where he has been working with the committee on establishing a Wiki for Maryland’s architectural history. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nThis program is hosted on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Baltimore’s Vernacular Churches (Virtual Talk)
DESCRIPTION:Along with its famous\, architecturally distinguished churches\, Baltimore retains many lesser-known but architecturally and socially interesting church buildings. Some are modest\, simple structures\, some are grander\, and probably all of them have been ignored when we think about Baltimore’s architectural heritage. If we stop to look at them\, however\, we see the evidence of Baltimore’s spatial and population growth in the years before the Civil War. They tell a tale of geographic and social mobility\, changing tastes\, and even theological change. You can see all this\, if you know what you’re looking at. \nMichael S. Franch\, Ph.D.\, is a historian\, board member and past president of the Baltimore City Historical Society\, He is especially interested in Baltimore urban growth and religious community in the early 19th century. \nAbout this event\n\n\nThis program is hosted on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Restoring the Hawley-Hutzler House (Virtual Talk)
DESCRIPTION:In 2019\, the grand Victorian 8\,000 square foot Hawley-Hutzler Mansion went on the market. The mansion was once the home of the Hutzlers\, who owned the famous department store of the same name. The mansion has gone through significant alterations since it was built in 1887\, including being converted to offices\, and in the 1970s\, split up into apartments. Needless to say\, there would be a lot of work to do to restore this mansion to its former grandeur. \nArchitect Ward Bucher\, AIA of Encore Sustainable Architects will be presenting. He and his wife Lisa Harley Johnson have taken up the task of renovating the mansion — the ultimate historic preservation passion project. We will hear about the interesting history of the home and its previous residents\, and the restoration work currently underway. \nTo learn more about the mansion and the restoration work\, take a look at the blog Ward and Lisa began. And see an interactive 3D model of the home here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nThis program is hosted on Zoom. Upon registering you will receive an email confirmation and a Zoom link.
