SUMMARY:The Decorated Tenement
DESCRIPTION:Zachary J. Violette focuses on what he calls the “decorated tenement\,” a wave of new buildings constructed by immigrant builders and architects who remade the slum landscapes of the Lower East Side of Manhattan and the North and West Ends of Boston in the late nineteenth century. Drawing on research and fieldwork of more than three thousand extant tenement buildings\, Violette uses ornament as an entry point to reconsider the role of tenement architects and builders (many of whom had deep roots in immigrant communities) in improving housing for the working poor. \nUtilizing specially commissioned contemporary photography\, and many never-before-published historical images\, The Decorated Tenement complicates monolithic notions of architectural taste and housing standards while broadening our understanding of the diversity of cultural and economic positions of those responsible for shaping American architecture and urban landscapes.  \n  \n  \nZachary Violette has a PhD in American and New England Studies from Boston University. His first book\, The Decorated Tenement: How Immigrant Builders and Architects Transformed the Slum in the Gilded Age(University of the Minnesota Press\, 2019)\, is the winner of the 2019 Fred Kniffen Award from the International Society of Place\, Landscape\, and Material Culture. Violette is the recipient of the 2019 short-term H. Allan Brooks Traveling Fellowship for travel in Central Europe. He serves on the Board of the Vernacular Architecture Forum and is a lecturer at Parsons/The New School of Design in New York. He is currently researching a follow-up volume to The Decorated Tenement on the inner suburban apartment house in the early twentieth century \n  \nPlease note reception will be post lecture\, 7:30 p.m. \nTickets may be purchased here \n  \n

SUMMARY:Born Too Soon\, Born Too Late: Mabel Loomis Todd\, Millicent Todd Bingham and Their Upside-Down Victorian Sensibilities
DESCRIPTION:This lecture is co-sponsored with and will be held at The General Society of Mechanics & Tradesmen.  \n20 WEST 44TH STREET\, BETWEEN 5TH AND 6TH AVENUES \nRECEPTION AT 6:00 \nLECTURE AT 6:30 \nJulie Dobrow\, a Tutts University professor\, will speak about the mixed-up Victorian sensibilities and fascinating lives of Mabel Loomis Todd\, Emily Dickinson’s first editor\, and her daughter Millicent Todd Bingham. Todd lived the majority of her life in the 19th century but confided to her diary her belief that she had been born one or two centuries too soon. Her love affair with Dickinson’s brother Austin scandalized their prim community in Amherst\, Massachusetts. Bingham’s professional life began in geography but shifted to Dickinson scholarship\, and her life encompassed more of the 20th century than the 19th\, yet she considered herself more Victorian than her mother. Todd\, who spent most of her adult life in Amherst\, and Bingham\, who lived for years in Manhattan\, both pushed the envelope of expectations for women of their eras. e two women were artistically gifted\, and they traveled the world\, wrote prolifically and advocated for land preservation. Their complicated mother-daughter relationship is well-documented in their enormous\, intertwined paper trails. Dobrow’s book\, After Emily: Two Remarkable Women and the Legacy of America’s Greatest Poet\, was published by W.W. Norton in October 2018. \n
