SARPA and Historic Saint Paul FREE Lecture Series
Next Lecture Coming Up Next Week!
The Summit Avenue Residential Preservation Association and Historic Saint Paul are excited to continue their 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 or Summit Avenue resident to attend.
All lectures are held at the University Club of St. Paul (a co-sponsor of the series), located at 420 Summit Avenue. Lectures begin at 7:00pm and run about an hour, with some time for socializing (cash bar) afterwards.
The first in the series, on Summit Avenue’s role in Saint Paul, was presented by Ted Lentz and was very well-received. The remaining lectures are:
Monday, October 25 – Stewardship
Summit Avenue’s architectural styles and the development of the historic districts
- Presented by architects Tom Blanck and Sonja Mason
Monday, November 22 – Enhancement
Design guidelines, appropriate work and changes, and resources, as well as planning for the future
- Presented by Amy Spong (City of St. Paul HPC) and preservation consultant Thomas R. Zahn
