Lecture - Early 20th Century Houses

Early 20th Century Houses - Influence and Style

May 17 • 7:00 - 8:30 p.m. Lewis Auditorium at Urbana Free Library, Ground Floor

We’ll look at the great mix of architectural styles used from circa 1905 - 1940, showing evolving American ideals and international influences. As urban density occurred in companion with an expansion of the middle class, the influence of regional and national patterns of architectural standardization was encouraged by mass production, and the aspiration nature of the residents who lived there.
