May 18: “Sears Houses in Fort Wayne” by Karen Richards, popular ARCH lecturer, will wrap up our lecture series with an exploration of houses their owners chose from the Sears and Roebuck catalog (and maybe from similar mail-order purveyors).
Perhaps you've noticed a house or two around town that look very similar. They might be Sears Houses. Come learn how to know for sure!
ARCH lectures will begin at 1 p.m. in the Spectator Lounge at Cinema Center, 347 E. Berry St., Fort Wayne. Free parking is available across Clay Street. ARCH will record each lecture presentation and post the recordings on its website for people who are unable to attend.
