Join us on Monday, April 27, at 7:00 p.m. for a lively talk on the life and times of Henry Hobson Richardson, architect of the Malden Public Library. The one hour talk “H.H. Richardson Remembered: Networking and Connecting” will be presented by local scholar Dee Morris.
Henry Hobson Richardson (1838-1886), one of America’s first master architects, designed several local buildings that provide a vivid understanding of his greatness. They include Medford’s Grace Episcopal Church (1868), Boston’s Trinity Episcopal Church (1877) and the Malden Public Library’s Converse Memorial Building (1885). To gain a better sense of Richardson himself, some highlights of his life will be explored in relationship to these three important works.
Dee Morris is a scholar and educational consultant specializing in the 19th-century history of Greater Boston. She is the author of “A Brief History of Somerville,” “Medford: A Brief History” and “Boston in the Golden Age of Spiritualism: Séances, Mediums & Immortality.” Her goal is help us all connect to our civic ancestors.
