Franklin Street Artistic Mansions II: A Lecture and Walking Tour with Charles Brownell, Ph.D.

Description

The Brownells return to VCU Libraries for an encore lecture on the historic architecture and interior design found in the once glittering mansions on W. Franklin St. in the heart of VCU’s Monroe Park Campus. Following the one-hour lecture, the Brownells lead a walking tour of W. Franklin St. A reception follows the presentation.

While ample seating is available for the lecture, space for the walking tour is extremely limited and requires a separate reservation. Parking is available for a fee in the West Broad Street, West Main Street and West Cary Street parking decks. If special accommodations are needed, or to register offline, please contact the VCU Libraries Development office at (804) 827-3616.
