Slideshow on Architecture of New England Churches 1680-1930
Across the nation there is strong admiration and deep respect for the architecture of New England churches. On Wednesday June 20 from 1:00 to 2:30pm a slideshow will be presented on the Architecture of New England Churches 1680-1930. Some fine South Shore examples will be noted, but we will also look wider across New England to survey the full range of structures. Depending upon a specific church under discussion, our overview will show interiors, exteriors or both. We will also take time to examine the placement at a specific location, and its relation to sightlines created by landscaping and other buildings. The speaker will be antiques writer Bob Jackman. If you have an image of a specific church, bring it to the show, and Bob will be happy to offer comments. While the talk will be organized around a sequence of 70 slides, the atmosphere will be informal with questions and answers throughout the presentation. Expect to learn a bit, share some laughs, and have a good time. Fee $4. Please sign up at 781-545-8722.
