Docomomo US invites you to join us for a special evening reception in appreciation of two significant Modernist churches in Boston's Back Bay and in keeping with this year's annual theme: Places of Worship.
Doors open at 6:30pm at the First Church of Boston, which dates to 1868 and was designed by William Robert Ware and Henry Van Brunt. After a fire in 1968, Paul Rudolph was commissioned to rebuild the structure.
Following a brief presentation about Rudolph's dramatic interior, which incorporates the remains of the façade and tower, enjoy drinks and light bites with colleagues in the Auditorium and Narthex, then get the chance to visit the Pietro Belluschi-designed First Lutheran Church of Boston (1955-57), just across the street.
This is the only event of the conference featuring access to these sacred spaces. Proceeds support Docomomo US programming, advocacy and educational efforts.
$195/person
