Join New Haven Preservation Trust for a tour of concrete in New Haven. The spread of concrete as a building material reshaped architecture in the 20th century and thus influenced profoundly the development of both modern and traditional design. See some of the ways concrete was used in downtown New Haven buildings. Join tour guide Christopher Wigren, Deputy Director of the Connecticut Trust for Historic Preservation and author of Connecticut Architecture: Stories of 100 Places, for this special tour.
An architectural historian and Deputy Director of the Connecticut Trust for Historic Preservation, Christopher Wigren has written articles and essays for the Hartford Courant, the New Haven Register, and Connecticut Explored magazine.
Meet in front of Trinity Episcopal Church, corner of Temple and Chapel streets in New Haven.
RSVP requested by Wednesday, October 16 at info@nhpt.org or 203-562-5919.
