NOT JUST COLONIALS AND GINGERBREADS: 20TH CENTURY HOMES IN HUNTERDON:
Colonial Period? Victorian Gingerbreads? Our County has so much more! When we think of local historic architecture we picture the Greek Revival, Italianate, and Queen Anne homes of Flemington, Clinton, Lambertville and the other villages and hamlets of Hunterdon. But what about the buildings constructed post 1900! After a brief overview of architectural building styles we can then look at the Colonial Revival, Tudor, Foursquare, Craftsman bungalows and Mid-century modern styles that are a larger part of the homes of Hunterdon. We'll explore the historic and industrial trends that made these popular and possible! Join Janice Armstrong, noted historian, preservationist, and heritage educator, for a talk focusing on 20th Century architecture. As a follow up (Summer date to be announced) we'll take a stroll in Flemington to the "newer" side of town, tracing the town's expansion and growth.
Janice is a life-long resident of Hunterdon County and a retired teacher from Readington Township. Her preservation experience includes working with the New Jersey Historic Trust, Preservation New Jersey, and the Samuel Fleming House Museum and Gardens. She has also taught classes at Drew University for their Historic Preservation program.
Janice is currently writing a walking tour script and training tour guides for tours of Flemington.
Reservations requested. Free with free refreshments following the talk.
