SUMMARY:Lecture: Appreciating the Architecture of First Presbyterian Church at 100
DESCRIPTION:Constructed 100 years ago\, First Presbyterian Church of Jamestown reflects the growth and pride of a thriving community. Ralph Adams Cram\, the building’s architect\, was one of the early twentieth century’s most influential architects. He drew inspiration from his travels throughout Europe and from the Arts and Crafts Movement then becoming popular in the United States. This movement promoted the work of talented\, local craftsmen as opposed to mass production and industrialization. The church today\, as it did 100 years ago\, stands as a masterpiece of this movement and of the hopes and dreams of the community. \nDr. John Smagner\, an architectural historian who often attended the church as a child\, will engage listeners as he highlights the many details that make the church so special. With the support and commitment of the church community\, John wrote the successful nomination to place the church on the National Register of Historic Places. \nThe 2026 Fenton History Center Lecture Series features evening lectures between April and October. This event is free and open to the public. Lectures are held in the dining room at the Gov. Reuben Fenton mansion. They are also streamed via YouTube. Donations are appreciated to support the Fenton History Center’s mission to preserve local history and provide educational opportunities. \nThank you to our sponsor: Rodgers Land Surveying.
