Steedman Open House and SAH Lecture, April 16

The third in the Steedman/Society of Architectural Historians lecture series, "Architecture Around the World" was held the evening of Thursday, April 16.  Once again attendees had to negotiate through the traffic of a St. Louis Blues game, but we ended up with a good attendance of 35.  As before, the Steedman Room was open for viewing before the lecture, and folks enjoyed the Steedman exhibit in the Great Hall.  Paul Hohmann spoke and showed photos of a wonderful Danube River cruise, with many interesting shots of architecture, decorative details, and street art. 












Before and after, attendees browsed books on related subjects and recent architectural book acquisitions.


After a summer hiatus, the series will continue in the Fall with John Guenther speaking about Eero Saarinen on September 16.  Mark your calendars now!
