12th Annual Lecture in Honor of John C. Van Horne, with Michael J. Lewis

Join us in-person or virtually, for a conversation with author and historian Michael J. Lewis about the history of Philadelphia’s great libraries. Lewis’s books include Frank Furness: Architecture and the Violent Mind (W.W. Norton & Company, 2001), American Art and Architecture (W.W. Norton & Company, 2006), and the prize-winning August Reichensperger: The Politics of the German Gothic Revival (MIT Press, 1993). He was a Fellow of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton (2000-2001) and in 2008 received a Guggenheim Fellowship to support the completion of City of Refuge (2016), his study of millennial Utopias.

Help us celebrate Dr. John C. Van Horne’s legacy of education and scholarship by joining us at the free public lecture and book signing, members-only reception, and private dinner immediately following the event.
