The Athenaeum is so strongly identified with its 1847 National Historic Landmark Building that it’s easy to forget that we spent our first 33 years somewhere else. In this illustrated Zoom meeting, Curator of Architecture Bruce Laverty will discuss the life and times of the institution before 219 South 6th Street became its home.
