About this Event
Join celebrated Fellow of the American Institute of Architects Patrick Ahearn for a discussion of his latest book History Reinterpreted which details the dramatic transformation of the former north wing of Duxbury's Myles Standish Hotel into a captivating seaside residence. By exploring his past, including his personal impact on the renaissance of Boston's Back Bay, and touching upon inspiring homes he has designed throughout New England, Patrick will explain how the preservation of an idea as opposed to a precise structure can tug at the sentiments of memory, present a romantic attitude, and elicit a nostalgic response.
Seating is limited and RSVP is required. Reception generously hosted by Christopher Peacock.
