“Free Program: “Hidden History of Grand Rapids: Boulders and Bricks, Steel and Glass”
presented by Matthew Ellis
From log cabins to modern skyscrapers, Grand Rapids is a city of structures and the people who built them. The methods and materials used to construct Grand Rapids have changed over time. This change reflects the history of Grand Rapids' built landscape. The shift from using stones to the use of bricks or the transition from no building regulations to the rise of building ordinances; the history of constructing methods may seem mundane, but this hidden history of the city is seen on every street. Matthew Ellis will share from his book, Hidden History of Grand Rapids, which delves into the history of building methods.
Matthew Ellis will have book sales available at the event. Also available on Amazon:
