Cynthia Howk will present a Rochester's Rich History on Rochester's Forgotten Architects in the Rundel Auditorium on the 3rd floor of the Rundel Memorial Building.

Join Cynthia Howk of the Landmark Society as she introduces us to several important Rochester architects and their works. While the general public usually knows of Frank Lloyd Wright and might have heard of Claude Bragdon or, more recently, James Johnson (Mushroom House, Liberty Pole) — the majority of the talented designers who created Rochester's built environment over the past two centuries are almost totally unknown. These include the family dynasty of Andrew Jackson Warner and son, J. Foster Warner, architect/inventor/politician/philanthropist James Goold Cutler, designer/artist/architect Harvey Ellis, prolific father/son architects Otis and Harwood Dryer, Mit's first woman graduate from their architecture school, Anne Graham Rockfellow, as well as several dozen others (both individuals and architectural firms).
