SOHO Presents Two New Terrace Talks
September/October 2019
Terrace Talks—lively conversations among preservationists, historians, and the audience on the Marston House terrace—are back.
 |
This popular Saturday morning series kicks off its second year with Trailblazing Early California Women Architects on September 28 and Why Old Places Matter on October 19. The talks are from 11am to 12:30pm. The cost is $10 per person, which includes light refreshments. Tickets must be purchased in advance at links provided below.
Trailblazing Women Architects of California will feature the lives and work of Hazel Wood Waterman, San Diego's first woman architect; Julia Morgan, California's first licensed woman architect; and Lilian J. Rice, who worked geographically in between the first two, to make Rancho Santa Fe the charming place it is today. Click HERE for more information and to purchase tickets.
Why Old Places Matter will be discussed by four long-time SOHO leaders informed by a recent book of the same name and subtitled "How Historic Places Affect Our Identity and Well-Being." As author Thompson M. Mayes of the National Trust for Historic Preservation notes, we may not always see past bricks, mortar, and the significant people and events they contained, but historic buildings and sites play a major role in the social, psychological, and emotional fabric of our complex culture and enrich our quality of life, as individuals and collectively.
