LH36-P. LANCASTER’S NOTABLE HISTORIC ARCHITECTS: THEIR WORK, THEIR LIVES AND THE IMPACT ON OUR COMMUNITY

Lancaster City’s architecture has been shaped by the talent, expertise and vision of architects from Philadelphia, Baltimore, New York, Chicago and of Lancaster. This course will introduce the audience to their works, their personalities and their impact from 1738 to 1968. The two hundred year span has graced the city with over thirty six styles of architecture from Georgian to Art Deco. The course will progress through the architectural history chronologically describing each architect and their body of work. Historic photographs and newspaper accounts obtained from Lancaster History and LNP bring each story to life in a way that is entertaining and educational.
