[MassHistPres] Olmsted lecture

[Dennis De Witt]

For those interested in learning about Olmsted's urban design on his home turf, on June 19th at 7pm Keith Morgan, Director of Architectural Studies at Boston University, will be giving a talk entitled:
 "Designing the Richest Town in the World: The Olmsted Firm and Brookline"
For many years, Brookline has remained steadfast in its independence from Boston. In his talk, Morgan will examine how and why the "model suburb" asserted its autonomy. He will incorporate issues of regional planning, including metropolitan water and sewer authorities. 

Best regards,

Dennis J De Witt, Vice-Chairman
