Egyptian Revival Architecture in CT (In-Person)
Thursday, November 14
7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Registration Required BelowThe stories and treasures discovered in Ancient Egypt have inspired builders and architects throughout the world, and Connecticut has some of the best examples of ancient Egyptian revival architecture in the United States.
From cemetery gateways in New Haven and Farmington, to the designs of Fort Trumbull and a Baptist Church in Essex, motifs and imagery from ancient Egypt inspired Connecticut's designers, especially in the middle of the 19th century.
In this lecture, Professor John Coleman Darnell and Dr. Colleen Darnell will explain how this architectural movement began and what it signified to the people who interacted with these structures.
