Join author, photographer and architectural historian Dale A. Carlson as he discusses the life and career of prolific Detroit architect, William E. Kapp (1891-1969), who designed the Detroit Historical Museum and a host of other important metro area structures between the mid-1920s and early 1960s. Learn about Kapp’s early years in Toledo, Ohio, his work for Smith, HInchman & Grylls in the 1920s and 30s, and his late-era Detroit Public Library designs on the city’s north side. If you’ve ever admired Music Hall Center for the Performing Arts, the Rackham School of Graduate Studies at the University of Michigan or the Downtown Branch of the Detroit Public Library, you won’t want to miss it.Participation is free with museum admission.
