The Concord Free Public Library continues its 2010 Thursday Author Series Thursday, March 18 at 7:30 pm in a presentation of exquisite American home architecture as featured in the publication, New Classic American Houses. Accompanied by detailed drawings and beautiful photographs, the book documents recent works of Albert, Righter & Tittmann, named one of the best architectural firms of 2008 by Best of Boston.®Whether drawing on Shingle Style, Gothic Revival, or Grecian as inspiration, these homes reveal the architects' deep knowledge and respect for historical design styles. Equally important is the obvious concern to match that style to a harmonious physical setting.
Two of the firm's principal architects, Jacob Albert and John Tittmann (above, right), both of whom received their architectural degrees from Yale University, will be on hand to discuss their work accompanied by a visual presentation.The Friends of the Concord Free Public Library sponsor the Thursday Authors Series from September through June. Programs, which are held in the second floor Periodical Room in the Main Library, are free and open to all. Following each presentation, books are available for purchase and audience members are encouraged to continue their conversations with the authors.
