THIS IS A PAST EVENT.
Join Margaret Supplee Smith for this talk about Reynolda's architect Charles Barton Keen. The Arts and Crafts movement -- a widespread nostalgia among the middle and upper classes for pre-industrial values, an enthusiasm for country living, a zeal for gardening, and a pronounced Anglophilia—coincided with the introduction of mass-circulation magazines like House and Garden.
The designs of the young Philadelphia architect Charles Barton Keen published in these magazines attracted the attention of Katharine Smith Reynolds, setting a new direction both for Keen’s career and the look of Winston-Salem’s wealthier neighborhoods.
Smith is an architectural historian and Professor Emerita of Art History at Wake Forest University.
