Talk by Larry Millett, author of The AIA Guide to the Twin Cities.
Join the Cass Gilbert Society on Tuesday, November 13, at 7:00 P.M. at the University Club, 420 Summit Avenue, Saint Paul. Larry Millett, author of the AIA Guide to the Twin Cities (Minnesota Historical Society Press, 2007), will be speaking on Cass Gilbert and the architecture of Saint Paul.
Millett, who was architecture critic for the Saint Paul Pioneer Press, is also the author of several books that explore the architectural heritage of the Twin Cities, including Lost Twin Cities (1992) and Twin Cities Then and Now (1996).
The AIA Guide, which is subtitled “The Essential Source on the Architecture of Minneapolis and St. Paul,” does not slight the work of Cass Gilbert, which ranges from the Minnesota State Capitol to the warehouses of Lowertown, among its fifteen hundred total entries.
Admission to the lecture is free to Society members. There is a $5.00 charge for nonmembers. Refreshments will be served after the lecture. A demonstration of the Cass Gilbert Society’s redesigned website (see story inside) will be available before and after the lecture.
