EVENT DETAILS
In the years between the end of the Civil War and World War I (1865–1917), America’s nouveau riche mimicked the gilded life of the European aristocracy. If in the early years of that era Americans brought a new definition to bad taste, by the 1880s and ’90s the first generation of professionally trained American architects infused a refreshing spirit of simplicity, functionalism, and innovation into the 400-year-old Renaissance tradition of neo-classicism.
Barry Lewis, the long-time host of a popular walking tour series on PBS, is an architectural historian who teaches at Cooper Union Forum and specializes in European and American Architecture from the 18th to 20th centuries.
