There is no charge for this lecture.

San Diego has a unique collection of sacred architecture with buildings by luminaries such as Irving Gill, Albert Frey, Richard Neutra, William Krisel, Robert Quigley, and Charles Moore. The lecture will examine this rich heritage and highlight some overlooked architectural gems. These significant buildings provide wonderful examples of the major architectural movements of the twentieth century.
