April 17^th – (virtual) Design & History: The Past is Always Present Greek Romanesque, the Romanesque Revival and Henry Hobson Richardson

A specific sect of the Romanesque style was named after Henry Hobson Richardson, known for his iconic Trinity Church in Boston. The influence of the architecture from across the pond helped Richardson to create his style, which this session will concentrate on in addition to the origins of this particular type of extravagant design. This online class will be hosted by the Stickley Museum at Craftsman Farms.
