SUMMARY:Book Talk: Georgetown University: An Architectural History
DESCRIPTION:Spanning the university’s genesis in 1789 through to today\, the new book\, Georgetown University: An Architectural History\, provides the reader with a close look at over fifty campus buildings. \nThis book presentation will explore the Georgetown University campus over time with highlights of its historical and modern architecture\, from the Old North building (1795) to its twenty-first-century development. With modern photographs as well as historical images drawn from the university archives\, we will discuss the background of Georgetown’s buildings. The talk will highlight multiple periods in the university’s history including its entanglement with slavery\, the presidencies of Patrick Healy\, SJ and W. Coleman Nevils\, SJ as well as its mid-twentieth century and later university leadership. \nThe Georgetown campus includes architecture by leading historical and contemporary designers such as John Smithmeyer and Paul Pelz\, Emile Perrot\, John Carl Warnecke\, Hugh Hardy\, Hugh Newell Jacobsen\, and Robert A.M. Stern Architects. The buildings exemplify a host of architectural styles including Federal\, Romanesque and Gothic Revival\, International Style\, Brutalist and Postmodern. Changes in the university landscape and connections to broader trends in American campus development will be highlighted. Lastly\, we will also discuss the book’s curriculum connected development. \nYou can buy the book here or on Amazon. \nThis book talk is free to attend! \nREGISTER HERE\n \nStephanie Rufino is an architectural and art historian and has published on the decoration and architecture of both the Washington National Cathedral and historic American banks from the 1920s.

SUMMARY:Walking Tour: Founding Fathers Madison and Monroe
DESCRIPTION:Join DCPL for this exciting tour offered in partnership with Washington Walks! \nDiscover an overlooked aspect of DC’s Foggy Bottom neighborhood: a collection of Federal era mansions hiding in plain sight that were homes to men such as Founding Fathers James Madison and James Monroe. \nIn the early 1800s wealthy\, influential politicians and officials built substantial residences in Foggy Bottom\, lending an elite presence to the area located immediately west of the White House.

Participants will receive an interior tour of the mansion and hear about how this important historic building transitioned from being a family residence to housing the oldest nonprofit arts organization in the nation’s capital. \nTickets for this event are $35 per person. Refunds for cancellations will only be considered 7 or more days in advance. Administrative fees may apply. \nREGISTER HERE\nPhoto Credit: Arts Club of Washington (2017 I Street NW); Image courtesy of Historic American Buildings Survey\, Library of Congress.
