Over the past 250 years, architecture has profoundly shaped American society. In this talk, we explore the dynamic relationship between architecture and culture, from the founding era to the present, analyzing how structures have embodied our evolving identity. The presentation concludes by examining why architectural preservation matters - when we lose historic buildings, we lose irreplaceable evidence of our collective memory and future generations lose the capacity to understand the origins of the place they call home.
Recommended for adults. Registration recommended.

The Arthenia L. Joyner University Area Community Library, located adjacent to Muller Elementary Magnet School on 22nd Street in the University Area of Tampa, opened to the public in January 2018. Construction of the 15,000 square foot building was funded by the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners and a grant from the Florida Department of State, Division of Library Services and the State of Florida. The library was named in honor of State Senator Arthenia L. Joyner, a distinguished lawyer and politician and dedicated advocate for service, equality, and civil rights.
