Optimistic Foundations: Postwar Architecture in Great Falls with Samantha Long
Advertisement
The architecture of Great Falls tells the story of the town - if you know how to look. Join local Historic Preservation Officer Samantha Long for an exploration of one of the most optimistic chapters of Great Falls history: the decades after the Second World War.
From quaint ranch houses to mid-century modern institutions, postwar architecture can reveal the priorities and values of the people who built it. Long will discuss the patterns of local history that defined the 1940s and 50s and how they affect our built environment today.
Long, who administers the local activities of the National Register of Historic Places, will also introduce the Register with a discussion of the designation process, its meaning, and the Register's impact on the community.
The History Museum & Research Center invites the public to this free admission event on Second Saturday, November 8 at 1pm in the Ozark Club event room. Brochures about the National Register, the Montana Historic Sign Program, and local Historic Districts will be available at the event, as well as at the Great Falls-Cascade County Historic Preservation Office.
