H. H. Richardson Remembered: Networking and Connecting

Monday, April 27 7:00—8:00 PM

Henry Hobson Richardson (1838-1886), one of America’s first master architects, designed several local buildings that provide a vivid understanding of his greatness. They include 1) Medford’s Grace Episcopal Church (1868), 2) Boston’s Trinity Episcopal Church (1877), and 3) Malden’s Converse Memorial Library (1885). To gain a better sense of Richardson himself, some highlights of his life are important to explore.
