SOLD OUT! Summer Lecture Series: Historic Hudson River Houses 1663 – 1915
Wednesday, June 24, 2009
SOLD OUT. Lecture III – Part of the 2009 Fellows’ Summer Lecture Series:
The Hudson River Valley: An Allegory of its Architecture, Landscape and Artistic Legacy, 400 Years After the Voyage of the Half Moon
Sponsored by Peter Cosola, Inc.
The Hudson River Valley, from New York City to the northern reaches of the Capital District, is an open-air museum of American domestic architecture. Nowhere in the United States can curious travelers see better (or more) examples of Dutch vernacular, Georgian, Federal, Greek Revival, Picturesque, Victorian, and Edwardian houses. Drawing on the research he did for his illustrated survey of these buildings (Historic Houses of the Hudson River Valley, Rizzoli, 2004), Gregory Long, President and CEO of The New York Botanical Garden, will focus particularly on house museums that are now open to the public, the cultural and social histories of these buildings, as well as their architecture. Rather than emphasizing well-known Gilded Age mansions along the river, this talk will concentrate on the vernacular buildings and architectural styles of the 18th and earlier 19th centuries.
