Coming up this Saturday, May 12th is a free (everyone loves free stuff, right?) lecture on the History of Seattle Architecture put on by the
Seattle Architecture Foundation. The specific topic will be Architecture and Urbanism from 1935 to the present. It’ll happen beginning at 1pm through 3pm in the Microsoft Auditorium of the
Seattle Central Library. This is the 2nd lecture in a series and includes post-World War II suburban development, the impact of the automobile, growing interest in historic preservation, and urban design. So mark your calendars!
I know I’ll be there, you’re coming right
? Hey, hey, don’t let the word “lecture” scare you off, I’m sure we’ll learn something worthwhile. Speaking of the impact of automobiles, check out this image of the Battery Street Subway (connecting the Viaduct to Aurora Ave N.) carbon monoxide tests from 1954.
