On October 7th, the OHS is presenting a talk by McLean County Museum of History librarian, Bill Kemp, titled Architect A. Richard Williams: Revisiting an International Style Master. If you've heard Bill speak before, you know this will be a great evening.
This copiously illustrated program on this underappreciated modernist master who was raised in Normal and later headed the School of Architecture at the University of Illinois. Williams's masterpieces in the Twin Cities include Bloomington District 87's Oakland School and the former Elizabeth Stein residence at 1008 Monroe Drive in Bloomington.
We will be meeting in the gorgeous courtroom in the McLean County Museum of History at 7 pm and the event will be free.
