An Afternoon With Wright

James Dains of the The Friends of Cedar Rock sent information on their annual symposium (which helps support the restoration of the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Walter House in Quasqueton, IA) for us to share with PrairieMod readers. Get details after the jump...
 

"The Friends of Cedar Rock (FOCR) invites you to their 8th annual "Afternoon with Wright" Symposium. This year’s speakers include: Scott G. Buchanan and Rob Barros.

The first presenter, Scott G. Buchanan, is an Attorney and Secretary of the Sullivan Building Foundation.  Scott is an engaging and knowledgeable speaker.  We are confident that everyone will enjoy his presentation on the Louis Sullivan “Jewel Box Bank” of Algona.  

Our second speaker will be Rob Barros, Barros Productions, Film Maker and Television Producer.  His presentation, “Jack Howe, Pillar of Taliesin: The Pencil in Wright’s Hand,” is sure to be unique and informative. He will discuss his latest project, “John H. Howe, Architect: Frank Lloyd Wright’s Master of Perspective.”

We invite you to come to the event from 1:00 - 4:00 p.m. There will be an admission charge of $10 asked at the door to help offset event expenses. During a brief intermission, light refreshments will be available. Guests are invited to participate in a Walter House Tour at Cedar Rock at 11:00 a.m. or 4:30 p.m.
