In this presentation, Lawrence Kreisman showcases the Pacific Northwest region’s brash and youthful response to urban pressures and new communication and transportation opportunities.
His talk will examine
the entrepreneurship of James Moore and his Millionaires’ Row;
the growth of outlying suburbs along the interurban commuter lines and new highways, including Lake Forest Park ;
summer homes at Three Tree Point and Restoration Point, Bainbridge Island;
a utopian community of artists, Beaux Arts Village on the east shore of Lake Washington; and
David Whitcomb’s Woodway enclave further north with its expansive estate lawns and gardens.
Lawrence Kreisman, Hon. AIA Seattle, was Program Director of Historic Seattle for 20 years and Director of the Seattle Architecture Foundation tour
