The Summit Avenue Residential Preservation Association and Historic Saint Paul are excited to co-sponsor a free lecture series on the history, architecture, and preservation of Summit Avenue, widely considered the nation's best-preserved example of the Victorian monumental residential boulevard.
This series is designed to be educational — discussing the history of Summit Avenue — but also inspirational, promoting ideas for future private (and public) development. It’s also a great chance to meet and socialize with other Summit Avenue homeowners and area residents. The lectures are free, and you don’t have to be a member to attend, but why not take this chance to join? (membership form on the back of the newsletter).
All three lectures will be held at the University Club of St. Paul (a co-sponsor of the series), located at 420 Summit Avenue. Lectures will begin at 7:00pm and run about an hour, with some time for socializing (cash bar) afterwards.
Topics are as follows:
Monday, September 27 – Awareness
The history of Summit Avenue and its role in Saint Paul
Presented by Ted Lentz
Monday, October 25 – Stewardship
Summit Avenue’s architectural styles and the development of the historic districts
Monday, November 22 – Enhancement
Design guidelines, appropriate work and changes, and resources, as well as planning for the future
We hope to see you there!
