SUMMARY:LECTURE: Mapping St. Louis
DESCRIPTION:In the digital age\, maps are more important and accessible than ever. Today\, thanks to mobile devices\, maps literally tell you where you are going. But maps were just as important in the past. They not only helped you navigate the world\, but they also guided future plans and dreams. \nIn Mapping St. Louis\, author and Museum director Andy Hahn charts the growth of the city from its founding in the 1760s to the present day. It does so by interweaving 40 maps along with short essays\, detailed views\, and captioned illustrations that provide stories and history that are only hinted at on each map. Many different styles of maps are featured—maps for exploration and navigation\, pocket and atlas maps\, development and planning maps\, pictorial maps\, and fantasy maps. The 40 maps are reproduced as large as each page will allow in order to afford the viewer as close a look as possible. \nMapping St. Louis is your guide to charting St. Louis’s rich history\, and may spark ideas about where the city may be heading. \nFree\, but RESERVATIONS REQUIRED.  Make your reservation below.  Limited free parking on the Museum lot. Free street parking. \nFrom “Mapping St. Louis”

SUMMARY:LECTURE: St. Louis Hills\, A Walk Through History
DESCRIPTION:St. Louis Hills is an exquisite Neighborhood. Through the pages of her new book St. Louis Hills: A Walk through History\, NiNi Harris guides visitors and residents through the over century-long evolution of the neighborhood beginning with the origins of Francis Park–the neighborhood’s emerald-like centerpiece. Using both photos and story\, St. Louis Hills recalls how developer Cyrus Crane Willmore envisioned a neighborhood that was anchored by great churches\, both spiritually and visually. \nUse this as your guide through the neighborhood’s streets– lined with beautifully-crafted\, charming cottages\, handsome Colonial Revival style homes and houses that look like miniature castles or Tudor Estate homes. Flamboyant St. Louis Art Deco apartment buildings punctuate the architectural landscape. At each tour stop you’ll learn about the craftsmen\, architects\, and builders who created this masterpiece of a neighborhood and how St. Louis artisans redefined the Art Deco Movement (begun in Paris in 1925) with brick\, glass-block\, terra cotta trim\, and art glass windows. This walk through history pictures the generations of builders and neighbors in St. Louis Hills: the craftsmen compelled to build with beauty; the neighborhood boys who fought World War II; Red Schoendienst\, Joe Garagiola and Stan Musial who\, despite their fame and success as St. Louis Baseball Cardinals\, were down-to-earth neighbors; and the current generation of parents pushing baby carriages\, power walkers\, and people walking their dog friends around Francis Park. \nFree\, reservations not needed. Books available for purchase. \n— \nLife-Long St. Louis City resident\, NiNi Harris has researched and written 18 books on St. Louis history\, ethnic groups\, and architecture. In her books\, she has chronicled the history of the Carondelet and Holly Hills neighborhoods and the remarkable evolution of Downtown St. Louis. She has explored the stories and documented the history of the Polish immigrants to St. Louis\, the immigrants who built Bohemian Hill\, and the 18th and 19th century history of Black St. Louisans. Harris has been studying and giving walking tours of St. Louis Hills history and architecture for four decades. \n \n

SUMMARY:LECTURE: Vandeventer Place\, Gilded Age St. Louis
DESCRIPTION:The History and traditions of Saint Louis are a fascinating\, complex subject. This book and lecture is one element in the story which\, until now\, has evaded a full telling. \nTo most St. Louisans of long presence in the town\, the mention of Vandeventer Place conjures up a mixture of amazement and mystery. The finest book published which details the Street’s architecture in part is “Architecture of the Private Streets of St. Louis\, the Architects and the Houses They Designed\,” by Charles C. Savage. That work offers the serious student of turn of the Nineteenth Century architecture a professionally outlined\, detailed description of the many featured homes of Vandeventer Place\, as well as many others from the numerous old private streets of St. Louis. It is a masterpiece of architectural erudition we commend to the serious student and enthusiast. \nIn this work\, and for the first time\, authors Michael Boyd and Thomas C. Grady offer a look all 50 homes in Vandeventer Place\, with biographical detail of the owners and the source of their considerable Gilded Age wealth\, not as gossip but as a study of how wealth was gained and held in the time just after the Civil War. \nFree\, reservations not required. Limited parking on the Museum lot\, free street parking on Sunday. Books will be available for sale ($32.95 each). \n

SUMMARY:Lecture: Black St. Louis
DESCRIPTION:Join the Campbell House on Sunday\, February 11 for a lecture on the new book\, Black St. Louis. The book covers more than 250 years of history and tells the stories of extraordinary people who helped pave the way for the St. Louis we know today. \nBlack St. Louis explores the rich and inspiring history of African Americans in St. Louis from the city’s founding as a French fur trading post during the Spanish colonial era to the new millennium. Author NiNi Harris highlights great figures who showed leadership\, innovation\, and courage despite the injustices they faced. \nYou will hear about the people like feisty Charlton Tandy\, a Union Army veteran who fought for Civil Rights\, or John Berry Meachum\, an ex-slave who led the Black community with kindness and founded the First African Baptist Church. In the early 20th century\, businesswoman Annie Malone built an industry that served and enriched African Americans and left a lasting impact on the city. Jordan Chambers\, a night club owner\, held so much political sway that he was known as the “Negro mayor of St. Louis.” \nThe event is free and no reservations are required. There is limited free parking in the lot adjacent to the house\, however\, street parking is free on Sundays.
