FHL lecture, originally uploaded by RedStickModern.
The Foundation for Historical Louisiana is hosting a Preservation Salon at the Old Governor’s Mansion on North Blvd next Thursday, November 8th, at 6:00 P.M.
The topic of this salon is “Our Recent Past Heritage: The Mid-Century Buildings of Florida Boulevard”. Free to FHL members, $5.00 for non-members.
Y’all, I’ve seen this presentation before–it’s fanstastic! Darius A. Spieth, Assistant Professor of Art History at LSU, compares buildings along the Florida Blvd corridor to icons of Modern Architecture. It will really open your eyes and help you recognize the great examples of the style that we have here in Baton Rouge.
I hope to see you there! (PS There will be refreshments–at the last salon I attended, they included was almond-scented champagne and delicious nibbles. To die for!)
shoot, I would have made an effort to attend this if I had known about it. Guess I need to check out redstickmodern.com more often so I don’t miss out on any more tasty architecture lectures.
