It's All Greek to Me: How the Ideals of Democracy Shaped Building Design in Early Naperville
Naperville is a time capsule of some of the earliest examples of America's first architects. The Greek Revival style of architecture (1820-1860) is considered by some to be a uniquely American phenomenon, though examples of this style are found in many other countries. This presentation by Naperville author and historian Bryan J. Ogg will explore how ancient Greece found a home in the built environment of early Naperville and the individuals who shaped community history.
Park at the Van Buren Parking Deck; there is limited parking at Central Park.
