ANTIQUE SLIDESHOW :  Boston’s

1775 Architecture

Thursday, July 30 at 1:00 pm

Boston was the leading cultural and commercial center of eighteenth-century America, and its architecture proclaimed its status. On Thursday July 30 at 1:00 pm a slideshow will feature Boston’s 1775 Architecture. The program will present images of the most refined examples of Boston’s commercial, residential, institutional, and religious buildings of the era. To provide a sense of balance, there will be a smaller selection of vernacular structures such as boarding houses, modest homes, industrial buildings, wharves, and such. The speaker will be antiques journalist Bob Jackman. OPTIONAL: If you have an interesting image of a colonial Boston building, bring it to the presentation, and Bob will be happy to offer comments. Admission is free. While the talk will be organized around a sequence of 70 slides, the atmosphere will be informal with questions and answers throughout the presentation. Expect to learn a bit, share some laughs, and have a good time.  Admission is free. Please sign up in advance at the front desk or by calling 781-834-5581.
