The Untermyer Garden Conservancy’s Winter Lecture features Untermyer Gardens President, Stephen F. Byrns, who will illustrate the meteoric career of the American architect, William Welles Bosworth.
William Welles Bosworth’s architecture career was powered largely by his close relationship to John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Bosworth’s design work at the house and garden of Kykuit, the Rockefeller family home, led to major projects for the ATT headquarters in New York City and the campus of M.I.T. in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It also led to the design of the garden at Greystone, Samuel Untermyer’s home, which some considered the most spectacular garden in America.
Learn how Bosworth, an intellectually and aesthetically gifted architect, fused classical architecture with modern ideas.
A recording of the lecture will be available starting March 12, tickets sold separately.
