St. John's Church Getty Square: 

The Most Interesting Church in
19th Century America?

Lecture with Stephen F. Byrns

Thursday, March 31st

Reception at 6:30PM, Lecture at 7:00PM

This lecture will illustrate how an 18th century church evolved through a major building campaign in 1871, becoming one of the first instances of historic preservation in America. It was also the first example of Colonial Revival architecture in the nation. The design raises tough but interesting questions that have relevance to the issue of proposed changes to landmarked structures today, something the speaker experienced frequently as a former LPC Commissioner.

The lecture will take place at the  General Society Library, 20 West 44th Street.  

Space is limited and reservations are required. To reserve please call the ICA&CA reservations line (212) 730-9646, ext. 109. Mention that you are a friend of LANDMARK WEST! and receive free admission!
